Heydar Aliyev International Airport

Engine failure has caused a Belgian military aircraft to make a forced landing in Baku.

The plane was flying from Brussels to Kandahar. It had earlier landed in Baku to refuel, but a fire in one of the engines forced the crew to turn back to Baku.

The plane made an emergency landing at Heydar Aliyev International Airport at 11.06 local time.

There were 14 passengers and nine crew members on board the aircraft.

Azerbaijani Airlines spokesman Maharram Safarli said that experts from Belgium were coming to inspect the aircraft in Baku.
