The plane was a 15-year-old 777-300ER, according to flight-tracking website FlightRadar24, which means it has General Electric engines, Reuters reported.

These engines are different from Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines, which are being examined after an engine fire on a United Airlines 777 on Saturday led to the suspension of operations of planes using these engines.

Russian airlines operate Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with General Electric GE90-115B engines, the Rosaviatsiya federal aviation agency said Wednesday, adding that it was not considering suspending the operation of those planes.

“The landing took place normally,” the airline said in a statement, adding that the flight would continue on to Madrid after 0900 GMT on Friday.
