A plane carrying Americans who were freed during a prisoner swap with Russia has entered United States airspace, as reported by FlightRadar24 data. The aircraft crossed into US airspace offshore near Nantucket, Massachusetts. The journey began in Ankara, Turkey around 8:00 p.m. local time (1700 UTC) and has been in the air for over 9 hours.
The freed Americans on the flight have been traveling for over 13 hours today, with more than nine hours spent on this flight alone, in addition to the nearly four-hour flight from Moscow to Ankara. The plane is expected to land at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after 11:30 p.m. local time.
Confirmation that this was the aircraft carrying the Americans came when Evan Gershkovich was seen boarding it in Ankara, Turkey.
