Overview

• The Angara Airlines An-24 went missing from radar on July 24 during a second landing approach in poor visibility and was later found burning 16 kilometers south of Tynda.
• Mi-8 helicopters and ground teams have secured the wreckage in dense forest and difficult weather, confirming there are no survivors.
• All 49 people aboard — 43 passengers, including five children, and six crew members — are confirmed dead.
• Preliminary findings point to possible crew error compounded by adverse weather and challenging terrain.
• The crash spotlights safety risks in Russia’s regional network, which relies on aging Soviet-era aircraft hampered by parts shortages from Western sanctions.
