An AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration 4K-AZ84 performing flight
J2-20 from St. Petersburg (Russia) to Baku (Azerbaijan) with 155 people on board, was climbing out of St. Petersburg's runway 28R when the crew stopped the climb at FL060 and entered a hold due to problems with the landing gear. The aircraft performed two low approaches to runway 28R, then entered a hold for about one hour, then performed another low approach to runway 28R and positioned for a full stop landing on runway 28R. Upon landing the aircraft overran the end of the runway and came to a stop with all gear on soft ground past the runway around 100 meters/330 feet past the runway end about 3 hours after departure. There were no injuries.
The airline reported the crew decided to return to St. Petersburg due to a technical problem with the landing gear and burned off fuel. A replacement aircraft has been dispatched.
A replacement Airbus A320-200N registration 4K-AZ143 is estimated to reach Baku with a delay of about 9 hours.
