Route: | Baku - Grozny |
Details: | The plane departed Baku for regular service to Gronzny. Due to low visibility at destination airport, the crew decided to divert to the alternate airport, Aktau, on the east coast of the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan. On final approach to Aktau Airport, Runway 11, the plane initiated a steep descent then rolled to the right and crashed in an open field 3 km short of the runway, bursting into flames. There are conflicting reports regarding the activation of squawk 7700 while over the Caspian Sea and possible an emergency message from the crew. The assumption that the airplane may have been hit by hostile action (intentional or otherwise) has not been ruled out. Three days after the accident, Russia's President apologized to Azerbaijan's President for the tragic accident. It was reported that at the time of the accident, Russian Air Defense Systems were firing on Ukraine drones and repelled that attack. |
