NOVOSIBIRSK, February 21 (RIA Novosti) - An Airbus A-310 with 251 passengers and 9 crewmembers on board made an emergency landing in Novosibirsk, a spokeswoman for the Siberian airport said on Thursday.

The aircraft, owned by S7 Airlines, was en route from Novosibirsk to Bangkok, when a technical failure was revealed, prompting the decision to return.

"The aircraft safely landed at 2:25 a.m. Moscow time [11:25 p.m. Wednesday GMT]," said Olga Kochetova, the press secretary of Tolmachyovo Airport.

On July 9, 2006 an Airbus A-310 owned by S-7 crashed killing 124 people on the way from Moscow to Irkutsk, the home airport for popular tourist destination Lake Baikal in Siberia. It veered off the runway upon landing and caught fire after hitting a concrete wall and plowing into garages.
