Immediately after the two aircraft landed, the French authorities at Tegel airport explained to the Soviet authorities in East Berlin that, because of technical difficulties, an emergency landing of the two planes had been absolutely necessary.
この2機が着陸して直ぐ、テーゲル空港のフランス当局は東ベルリンのソ連当局に対し、技術的な困難さによりこの2機の緊急着陸は紛れもなく必要な措置であったと説明した。
