The Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) will investigate an incident involving the aircraft carrying the Saudi Arabian national football team.
According to Rosaviatsiya, there would be an investigation in regards to the manufacturer of the company that made the plane’s engines.
On Monday night a video featuring bright streams bursting out from under the right wing of the airliner carrying the Saudi team was published on social media. It was reported that this could be fire coming from the engine.

The Saudi Football Federation denied reports about fire on board of the aircraft carrying the Saudi team. According to the federation, a minor failure was registered, and players were not affected.
According to Rosaviatsiya, the crew landed the aircraft with two engines operating. The passengers left the airplane, and nothing threatened the safety of the flight.
However, the case is being classified as "incident" by The International Civil Aviation Organization and is therefore subject to investigation.
