The plane carrying out the AHY-852 flight on Baku-Moscow route returned because of the pressure drop in one of its hydraulic systems, according to the company.
The aircraft landed safely, without any casualties, according to the message from AZAL.
"It was possible to fly with such a malfunction to the destination, however, given that the problem occurred immediately after the take-off, the commander of the crew decided to land at the base airport named after Heydar Aliyev in Baku,” said the message.
The cause of the malfunction is being investigated by the special commission of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC.
