On 24 October, a Smartavia Boeing 737-800 (registered RA-73654) operated domestic flight 5N583 between St. Petersburg and Perm (Russia) when during landing, the aircraft skidded about 50 metres behind runway 21.
The aircraft, carrying 186 passengers (including 14 infants) and 6 crew members stopped in a field. It appears that none of the passengers nor crew members got injured.
This year alone, three aircraft skidded off the runway at Perm Airport: a Pobeda Boeing 737 on 8 January and an Anadolujet Boeing 737 on 22 September.
Smartavia is a Russian low-cost airline, formerly known as Nordavia.
?? The Smartavia plane became the third aircraft to skid off the runway at Perm airport this year.
