Moscow, Oct 2 (RIA Novosti) A Boeing 737-300 crash landed at the airport in Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea, after its landing gear malfunctioned, but people on board were unharmed, a transportation ministry spokesman said Thursday.
'According to Rostransnadzor, a Boeing 737-300 owned by the KD Avia airline crash-landed at the Kaliningrad airport Wednesday on a flight from Barcelona. None of the 108 passengers on board was injured,' the spokesman said, referring to the country's transportation regulator.
