An Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet 100-95, registration RA-89112 performing flight SU-1368 from Moscow Sheremetyevo to Stavropol (Russia) with 55 passengers and 6 crew, was climbing out of Sheremetyevo's runway 24L when the crew stopped the climb at FL070 after the left hand engine cowl had partly separated from the engine. The aircraft entered a hold to burn off fuel and returned to Sheremtyevo for a safe landing on runway 24R about 50 minutes after departure.

Rosaviatsia reported the aircraft was climbing through 4000 feet when the flight crew was informed about the missing left engine cowling. The crew burned off fuel and returned to Sheremetyevo. A post flight inspection revealed the engine access doors were ripped off, a dent at the inboard leading edge of the left wing was also found.

The airline reported the engine is very close to the ground and the access door hooks hard to see if one doesn't know where to exactly look.
