Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1960s

Add article description


Following is a list of accidents and incidents Aeroflot experienced in the 1960s. The deadliest event the Soviet Union's flag carrier went through in the decade occurred in November 1967 (1967-11), when an Ilyushin Il-18V crashed upside down shortly after takeoff from Koltsovo Airport in Sverdlovsk, then located in the Russian SSR, killing all 107 occupants on board,[1] prompting the temporary grounding of the type within the airline's fleet. In terms of fatalities, the accident ranks as the fifth worst involving an Il-18, as of April 2016.[2] Another aircraft of the type was involved in the second deadliest accident the airline experienced in the decade, this time in September 1964 (1964-09), when 87 people were killed when the aircraft struck a hillside on approach to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The decade was also marked by the only deadly accident experienced by a Tupolev Tu-114, which entered commercial service on the MoscowKhabarovsk route in April 1961 (1961-04).[3][4]

An Ilyushin Il-18V, similar to the one involved in the deadliest accident the carrier experienced during the decade, is seen here at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the late 1960s.

The number of recorded fatalities aboard Aeroflot aircraft during the decade rose to 1801; likewise, 175 of its aircraft were written off in accidents or incidents, split into six Antonov An-10s, 13 Antonov An-12s, 54 Antonov An-2s, two Antonov An-6s, 8 Antonov An-24s, two Avia 14s, one Ilyushin Il-12, 22 Ilyushin Il-14s, 31 Ilyushin Il-18s, 12 Lisunov Li-2s, 14 Tupolev Tu-104s, two Tupolev Tu-114s, and five Tupolev Tu-124s. Most of the fatal accidents took place within the borders of the Soviet Union.

Certain Western media conjectured that the Soviet government was reluctant to publicly admit the occurrence of such events, which might render these figures higher, as fatal events would have only been admitted when there were foreigners aboard the crashed aircraft, the accident took place in a foreign country, or they reached the news for some reason.[5] However, no significant amount of unreported serious accidents have emerged after the dissolution of the USSR, in any of its then-constituent republics.
