Accidents and incidents
edit- 7 September 2010Alrosa Flight 514, operated by a Tupolev Tu-154, suffered a complete in-flight electrical failure while on a scheduled domestic flight from Udachny to Moscow. A successful emergency landing was made at Izhma, but the aircraft overran the runway and was damaged. All 81 people on board escaped uninjured.[2][3] The aircraft was later repaired and returned to service. The positive outcome was partly due to the diligence of airport supervisor Sergey Sotnikov in keeping the runway clear of vegetation and debris even after the airport was closed to traffic in 2003. Sotnikov was later awarded the Medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" by the President of Russia.[4] :
