On 29 December 2022, an Ural Airlines Airbus A321 (registered VP-BBH but illegally re-registered RA-73842) was supposed to operate domestic flight U6167 between Moscow Domodedovo and Kaliningrad, Russia. During the taxi towards the runway, however, the power bank of a passenger suffered a thermal runaway.
The passenger threw the burning power bank on the floor allowing the nearby fabric to catch fire, which caused smoke in the cabin. Emergency slides were used to quickly evacuate the aircraft. The fire was extinguished with fire extinguishers.
Firefighters arrived on the scene to check the situation. Passengers were brought back to the terminal and awaited a new departure time.
