Incident

A four-engine cargo aircraft operating a flight from Magadan Airport to Irkutsk with a load of 11 tons of fish and seven occupants (one loadmaster and six crew members) experienced a fuel-related emergency. The crew declined a planned refueling stop at Lensk Airport for financial reasons and proceeded toward Bratsk.
