An Ural Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration VQ-BDA performing flight U6-99 from Novosibirsk to Moscow Domodedovo (Russia) with 177 passengers and 7 crew, had departed Novosibirsk's runway 16/34 without any obvious incident at 06:54L (23:54Z Feb 28th) and continued to Moscow for a safe landing about 4 hours later.

Russia's Ministry of Transport reported that a runway inspection about 2 hours after the departure of VQ-BDA found 12 runway edge lights at the eastern edge of the runway were damaged. 5 flights had used the runway following the previous inspection. An inspection of VQ-BDA after landing in Moscow revealed damage to the nose gear and right hand main gear tyres consistent with the tyres contacting the edge lights. An investigation is under way.
