A Russian An-24 plane crashed in the Amur region carrying 49 people. The 49-year-old plane failed to land during its second approach to the airport in Tynda. Conditions were suitable for flying, and no distress calls were made before the accident. The aircraft had experienced several incidents prior and its service life was extended until 2036. There were no survivors found at the crash site, which was difficult to access due to mountainous terrain.
On Thursday, a Russian passenger plane, an Antonov An-24 with 49 years of service, crashed in the Amur region during its second approach to Tynda airport.
The An-24 had an extended service life until 2036, despite being involved in four recent aviation incidents, including a runway departure.
Flying conditions were suitable and no distress calls were made prior to the crash, which left no signs of survivors at the crash site.
Major international airlines typically phase out aircraft older than 35 years, whereas this An-24 was allowed to remain in service for nearly 50 years.
