- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Baku-Heydar Aliyev (Bina), Absheron, Azerbaijan

A four-engined An-12 cargo flight from Yerevan diverted to Baku-Bina short of fuel after engine trouble on the ground. On approach it was lined up on a parallel runway under construction and was sent around. All four engines then stopped during the climb, and the aircraft stalled into a rocky field 6 km from the airport. All 15 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
