Jul., 9, 2011, Tu-154 of Kogalym avia, scheduled for flight Antalya (Turkey) to Samara (Russia) rejected the take-off due to fire in the engine.



The high air temperature at 17:00 in Antalya airport (+45C) caused the accidental engine stop during the run. Some time Tu-154 was taxing, all energy consuming devices was took off, so passengers spend about one hour without air conditioner. Later 150 passengers demanded to leave board and rumoured about fire in engine, but officials deny that. Passengers came home on the next day departing Antalya on the same plane early at morning, 05:38.
