Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 caught fire when landing at Antalya airport in Turkey on November 24.

The fire started in one of the plane's engines and was quickly extinguished by rescue workers.

RT reported that the plane operated by Russian airline Azimuth landed in Antalya after a 2-hour flight from Sochi on the evening of November 24.

After landing in unfavorable weather conditions, one of the plane's two engines caught fire, spraying smoke and flames as the narrow-body plane approached the landing point.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. All 87 passengers and four crew members were evacuated, Turkish media reported, adding that runway 36R was temporarily closed and incoming flights were diverted after the incident.

Officials at the airport confirmed that there were no deaths or injuries.

Russia's federal air transport agency, Rosaviatsia, is investigating the cause of the fire, RIA Novosti reported.

Designed in Russia in the early 2000s, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 made its first commercial flight in 2011 and more than 200 of the aircraft are currently used by five Russian airlines, including the country's national carrier, Aeroflot.

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 has been involved in five serious plane crashes, including an emergency landing after being struck by lightning at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in 2019. 41 of the 78 passengers died in the accident and fire.

The pilot in the failed emergency landing was later convicted of violating flight safety rules and sentenced to 6 years in prison.
