A UTAir Boeing 737-500, registration VQ-BJT performing flight UT-6410 from Igarka to Ufa (Russia) with 116 passengers and 5 crew, was climbing out of Igarka when the crew received indications of problems with the cabin pressure. The aircraft was diverting to Surgut (Russia) maintaining FL100 and landed safely in Surgut about 100 minutes after departure from Igarka.

About 3.5 hours after VQ-BJT landed a replacement aircraft was estimated to continue the flight from Surgut, located about 500nm southwest of Igarka.

Rosaviatsia reported in Jan 2021 that the crew received a cabin altitude alarm, the crew initiated an emergency descent to FL100. The crew subsequently attempted to manually close the outflow valve, however, when they attempted to climb again the cabin altitude began to climb too, so that the crew returned to FL100 and decided to divert to Surgut.
