What happened
On a flight departing from Kyzyl Airport at 12:05 local time, an aircraft carrying 485 kilograms of furring failed to reach its destination in Abakan. Shortly after the departure, meteorological authorities were notified of a potential snowstorm developing in the area. Following the failure of the flight to arrive as scheduled, search and rescue operations were initiated to locate the missing plane.
Despite the efforts of recovery teams, the mission was eventually terminated several days later when no wreckage or evidence of the flight could be located. The aircraft and all four crew members remained missing following the conclusion of the search.
Findings
Investigations into the disappearance concluded that poor weather conditions were present during the period when the accident occurred.
