Overview

  • All 49 passengers and crew, including five children, were killed when the Angara Airlines An-24 crashed about 16 kilometres south of Tynda in Russia’s Amur region.
  • The Soviet-era turboprop disappeared from radar during a second landing attempt in poor visibility after an initial approach to Tynda Airport was aborted.
  • A Rosaviatsiya Mi-8 helicopter located the burning fuselage on a remote mountainside and rescue teams have struggled with dense forest and steep slopes to reach the site.
  • Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal case for violations of air traffic safety rules and is analyzing recovered flight and cockpit voice recorders.
  • The crash has renewed scrutiny of ageing An-24 aircraft still operating on isolated Far Eastern routes amid limited fleet replacements.
