Angara airline said that information about the suspension of the operation of the An-148 aircraft is untrue and does not plan to suspend flights, reported by RIA Novosti.

Earlier it was reported that Rostransnadzor ordered to suspend the activities of the Saratov Airlines. This decision is related to the investigation of the reasons for the An-148 crash that carried out the flight from Moscow to Orsk on 11 February. In addition, the media was disseminated information about the suspension of the operation of the An-148 aircraft by all Russian airlines.

"No official instructions and directives on the suspension of the operation of the An-148-100E aircraft to the airline have been received, which means that the information posted in a number of media is untrue," the source said.

He also added that according to the statement of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) of March 20, 2018, published on the official website of the ministry, the directive on the suspension of flights of An-148 aircraft concerns only for Saratov Airlines.

All regular and charter flights to An-148 will be performed by Angara airline according to the current schedule.
