- Date: January 25, 1995
- Aircraft: Yakovlev Yak-40
- Location: Rostov-on-Don, Rostov oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Thrust reversers were deployed on two engines but not on the third, which was still at full power, reducing braking effectiveness.
A Yak-40 of Volga Airlines landing at Rostov-on-Don could not stop on the runway after the flight engineer reversed only two of the three engines. The aircraft ran off the end, lost its undercarriage, struck a concrete wall and stopped about 870 metres beyond the runway. All 10 occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was written off.
