The damage caused delays and temporarily limited taxiway operations at Sheremetyevo. Passengers on Rossiya’s domestic service experienced a delay of several hours before being flown out on a replacement aircraft. Meanwhile, Hainan Airlines’ passengers reportedly had to spend the night in Moscow while waiting for another plane.

A spokesperson for Sheremetyevo International Airport commented that "the situation did not impact flight safety and was contained by emergency services," adding that emergency teams responded but did not need to provide assistance. Rosaviatsia spokesperson Artem Korenyako also said, "there were no risks to passengers" aboard either plane.

Live Journal reported that an investigation will be launched into the incident. According to Rosaviatsia’s Korenyako: "a thorough review of all circumstances, including the actions of the crews and the work of air traffic control services," will be conducted. He added that "compliance with flight safety regulations and passenger rights will be assessed."

Tracking data from Flightradar24 indicated that this was B-1098’s first trip back to Moscow since September 9. The route between Sheremetyevo International Airport and Saint Petersburg is regularly served by Rossiya’s RA-89112.

Although there were no injuries reported among passengers or crew, this event adds to recent concerns about incidents involving Russia’s Superjet fleet.
