Boeing 737-800 aircraft of S7 Airlines, flying from Novosibirsk to Irkutsk, was forced to return to the airport immediately after departure due to a technical malfunction, reports the West Siberian Transport Prosecutor's Office.

There were 160 passengers on board. The vessel was suspended from flying after landing. A reserve board was allocated to fulfill the flight.
