North Korean jet involved in mid-flight incident operating again

Following domestic test flight, Air Koryo jet successfully completes Pyongyang to Beijing route

A North Korean commercial plane, which reportedly caught fire, filled with smoke and had to conduct an emergency landing on July 22 is operating once more, according to FlightRadar24 and Air Koryo personnel.

The Air Koryo Tupolev TU204-300 P-632 jet was tracked on Friday completing an overseas flight from Pyongyang to Beijing, which is the same route it was forced to divert from when a mid-flight incident occurred last week. The flight numbered JS151, successfully landed in Beijing and according to the website, has since returned to the capital.
