Overview

• The twin-engine An-24 turboprop operated by Siberia’s Angara Airlines vanished from radar a few kilometres from Tynda Airport.
• Preliminary manifests list 43 passengers, including five children, and six crew members aboard the regional flight.
• Regional air traffic control, the Emergencies Ministry and local ground teams are leading the search across dense forest and marshland.
• Sparse roads, limited airstrips and rugged terrain in the Amur region are restricting aerial and ground search operations.
• Search planners are evaluating cross-border assistance given the proximity to the China–Russia border.
