An Antonov An-24 aircraft operated by Angara Airlines crashed in southeastern Russia. The plane was on a domestic flight from Blagoveshchensk Airport to Tynda Sigikta Airport when it disappeared and was later found wrecked just 10 miles from its intended destination. Reports suggest that none of the 48 people onboard survived.

The Aviation Herald initially reported 49 occupants, but officials clarified there were 48 after one passenger decided not to travel due to family matters. The crash site is located in a dense forest southwest of Tynda Airport, making access challenging for rescue teams.

Emergency services, including a Mi-8 helicopter from Rosaviatsiya, discovered the burning fuselage at the scene. Amur's regional governor, Vasily Orlov, stated that "all necessary resources" have been deployed for rescue efforts.

The aircraft involved was nearly 50 years old, highlighting issues within Russian aviation where aging planes are used due to sanctions preventing new deliveries. The BBC noted five children were among those onboard.

Initial investigations focus on technical malfunctions or pilot error as potential causes, though weather conditions at the time did not appear adverse with good visibility and light rain reported by the Aviation Herald.

The Antonov An-24RV involved had registration RA-47315 and has a history of incidents since 2017. This highlights ongoing safety concerns with Angara Airlines' fleet amid Western sanctions affecting maintenance capabilities.
