Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- A Russian-operated Boeing Co. 737-300 carrying 108 passengers made an emergency landing in Kaliningrad yesterday after the airplane's landing gear failed to lower, RIA Novosti said.
Nobody was injured on the KD-Avia flight from Barcelona to Kaliningrad, Russia's exclave between Lithuania and Poland, the news service said, citing Russia's Transportation Ministry. Air officials closed Kaliningrad's airport temporarily, RIA said.
Eighty-eight people died last month when a Boeing 737-500 operated by a unit of state-run OAO Aeroflot crashed in the central city of Perm after flying from Moscow. Russia grounded 737-500s with navigational systems similar to the one on the airliner that crashed Sept. 14.
