The aircraft continued the flight for a landing on Simferopol’s runway 19 without further incident about 2:10 hours after departure.
A later runway inspection found glass debris at the runway end and detected five damaged runway end lights. A review showed 5 aircraft had taken off between the previous and current runway inspection, amongst them VQ-BKV. An inspection of the aircraft after landing in Simferopol showed three tyres had been damaged, the landing gear had glass embedded.
The occurrence aircraft remained on the ground for about 19 hours, then departed for the return flight.
