A Nordwind Boeing 767-300, registration VQ-BMQ performing flight NWS-2475 from Krasnojarsk (Russia) to Phuket (Thailand) with 279 passengers and 11 crew, was climbing out of Krasnojarsk's runway 29 when the crew received a takeoff configuration alert referring to flaps after selecting the flaps up. The crew stopped the climb at FL160, silenced the alert and master warning, entered a hold at FL070 to burn off fuel and returned to Krasnojarsk for a safe landing about 5 hours after departure.
