According to CCTV News on October 27th， the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation announced that the commercial flight operating license of Angara Airlines will be revoked starting November 5th.
Previous reports indicated that on July 24th， local time， an An-24 passenger aircraft operated by Angara Airlines crashed on the outskirts of Tynda city， Amur Oblast. There were 43 passengers and 6 crew members on board.
The following day， the Investigative Committee of Russia announced that there were 49 people on board at the time of the accident， and all have been confirmed deceased.
It is understood that the aircraft departed from the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk， with a stopover in Blagoveshchensk， en route to Tynda. The aircraft did not issue any distress signals during its flight.
The implicated An-24 engaged in its second approach near Tynda Airport， meaning it was preparing for landing， shortly before it went missing and subsequently crashed.
The aircraft involved was an An-24， with an age of approximately 50 years. Its airworthiness certificate had been extended until 2036.
Information shows that the An-24 is a 44-seat， twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union. Design began in 1958， with its prototype first flying in April 1960. It entered into airline service in September 1963 and production ceased in 1978.
By 1976， approximately 1100 units were produced， with over 700 delivered to Soviet civil aviation and 130 exported to airlines in 12 countries.
