On 6 July 2021, the Antonov An-26 serving the flight crashed on approach to Palana, killing all 28 passengers and crew on board.

The aircraft had previously operated with PermTransAvia and Air Mali International, and was also leased for United Nations use.

[5] In 2012, an Antonov An-28 assigned to the same flight route and number also crashed while on its approach to land at Palana Airport.

The aircraft passed safely through the area control centers and at 14:09 was transferred to the ATC of Tigilsky District, where the captain contacted Palana for information on weather conditions.

[5] The aircraft was on final approach for landing when contact was lost about 10 km (6.2 mi) away from Palana's airport.

[12] The crash site was found on the same day, after the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations had dispatched a Mil Mi-8 helicopter and deployed search teams on the ground.

The Investigative Committee of Russia proposed three possible causes of the crash, namely inclement weather, technical failure, or pilot error.

[22] The cockpit voice recorder was recovered the same day, but was too badly damaged, with only fragments of the case being found, and its data could not be retrieved.

After communication with the air traffic controller the crew reported they were descending to 600 metres (2,000 ft), but did not confirm if they reached that altitude and did not ask for any further descent.

The crew flew the base and final turns, and the FDR did not record any lowering of the landing gear or flaps.
