Russian investigators have released a preliminary report into the fatal crash of a Sukhoi Superjet 100 (registration RA-89049) belonging to Gazpromavia on July 12, 2024. 

The aircraft, which was operating a ferry flight between Tretyakovo Airport (ICAO: UUMT), where it had been undergoing maintenance, and Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport (VKO), crashed in a forested area in the Kolomensky district near the Russian capital, causing the death of the three crew members onboard. 

In an 88-page report, Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committe (“MAK” by its acronym in Russian) attributes the crash to a failure in an angle of attack (AOA) sensor.
