What happened
During a scheduled flight, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving one of its engines. Following this loss of power, the flight crew received clearance to divert the aircraft to Simferopol Airport to perform an emergency landing.
Upon reaching the destination, the crew executed the landing procedure; however, the aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits. The plane overran the runway surface and eventually came to a halt. While the incident resulted in no fatalities or injuries, the aircraft sustained damage that was determined to be beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the emergency diversion was an engine failure occurring while the aircraft was in flight.
