MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The Falcon 900EX plane carrying Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis, which was bound for China but was redirected to Moscow due to technical reasons, has landed at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, a source close to the airport told TASS on Friday.

"It has landed," the source said.

After the fault was corrected, the plane was expected to leave Novosibirsk for China’s Hangzhou but the pilot decided to fly to Moscow’s Domodedovo.
