The Federal Air Transport Agency commented on FlightRadar data on alarm signals from five Russian airliners

According to information from the air traffic tracking service FlightRadar24, an emergency situation occurred on five passenger planes in the skies of Russia. A refutation soon arrived.

It was provided by the Federal Agency for Air Transport.

According to the foreign service, alarm signals were recorded from several aircraft at once flying on routes within Russia. The Federal Air Transport Agency commented on FlightRadar data on alarm signals from five Russian airliners. They stated that all flights are operated normally, in compliance with relevant flight safety requirements.

This information was confirmed by the regional center of the Unified Air Traffic Management System located in St. Petersburg. They stated that no activations of emergency responders on passenger aircraft were recorded.

The Federal Air Transport Agency suggested that the cause of the alarming information was a system failure in the FlightRadar24 service.

Earlier, a number of Russian media published information that five passenger aircraft flying over the territory of the Russian Federation gave “General Alert” signals. At first, alarming messages allegedly came from flights flying from Cherepovets and Petrozavodsk to Moscow, as well as from Samara to St. Petersburg. Soon they were joined by airliners flying on the Sabetta-Moscow and Petrozavodsk-St. Petersburg routes. Fortunately, the alarm turned out to be false.

The vast majority of our aircraft are imported.

Could this failure be externally induced?

The cause of the alarming information was a system failure in the FlightRadar24 service.

This is not a glitch in planes.

An ambiguous headline, from which it is not immediately clear that the failure occurred not in the planes, but in the public web tracking service. And even more so, a provocative photo with our Sukhoi Superjet 100. I sinfully thought that something had happened to the “poor guy” again!
