- Date: August 3, 2010
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-24
- Location: Igarka, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia
- Fatalities: 12
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain after the crew descended in instrument conditions below the glide path without visual contact, and did not initiate a go-around. An inaccurate forecast and inaccurate weather information relayed to the crew were contributing factors.
An Antonov An-24RV operated by Katekavia on a night scheduled service from Krasnoyarsk to Igarka flew into trees about 477 metres short of runway 12 after descending below the glide path in fog. The aircraft burst into flames on impact. All eleven passengers and one crew member died, the latter the following day, while three other crew members survived.
