Disappearance
On an unspecified date, an aircraft departed from Keflavik Airport, Iceland, during a humanitarian flight from Moscow, Russia, to Lima, Peru. The aircraft carried 15 passengers, a crew of eight, and various goods destined for victims of a recent earthquake. Approximately 47 minutes after departure, radio and radar contact were lost. The aircraft subsequently crashed under unknown circumstances into the North Atlantic Ocean.
Search and Rescue Operations
Search and rescue (SAR) operations were conducted jointly by authorities from Canada, the United States, Iceland, and the Soviet Union. Despite these international efforts, no trace of the aircraft nor any of its 23 occupants was found. All SAR operations were suspended after one month.
Investigation
Due to a lack of evidence, investigators were unable to determine the exact cause of the accident.
