International airport "Mihail Kogalniceanu" director Cristian Pavalasc told MEDIAFAX that the people on board the plane were not injured and standard procedure has been applied in this case, as the Constanta airport was the one closest to the takeoff location, form the moment when the problem occurred.
The airport official added the plane landed safely and it is not yet certain whether the people on board will leave with another plane or if a new part, to replace the faulty one causing the smoke, will be brought in.
At press time the people on board the military aircraft were in Constanta and, depending on the evolution of the situation, they could remain in this area overnight, according to Pavalasc.
