A Russian plane carrying 95 people caught fire after landing at Antalya airport in Turkey on Sunday, but all passengers and crew were safely evacuated.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 type aircraft, run by Azimuth Airlines, had taken off from Sochi and was carrying 89 passengers and six crew members, Turkey’s transportation ministry said in a statement.
The pilot made an emergency call after the aircraft landed at 9.34pm local time and the engine caught fire.
Airport rescue and firefighting crews quickly extinguished the fire and no one was hurt, according to the statement.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
The transportation ministry said efforts were under way to remove the aircraft from the runway, with arrivals temporarily suspended as departures took place from a military runway.
