A Globus Boeing 737 jet made an emergency landing Wednesday in the Russian city of Perm when one of its engines quit.
‘The pilots of the 737-800 reported to air traffic controllers that the right engine shut down as they flew near Yekaterinburg, and they decided to make an emergency landing in Perm, Interfax reported.
The plane landed safely at 10:52 a.m., the local branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry said in a statement.
Its 100 passengers and seven crew members were provided with food and offered lodging, and they were to be placed on another plane to their destination, Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, it said.’
There were no injuries reported.
Globus is a subsidiary of S7 Airlines.

Shame it was a Boeing instead of an Ilyushin since Perm Motors’ engines may have had a facility and the spares to fix the likely compatible engine!!!
….further to above, Tupolev used Perm engines if I recall correctly.
