- Date: October 4, 2019
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Lviv-Danylo Halytskyi, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew failure to fly the instrument approach, probably due to fatigue, leading to descent below the glide path and ground impact
A cargo Antonov An 12 flying from Vigo to Lviv made an ILS approach to runway 31 in dense fog, repeatedly descended below the glide path and struck trees and high ground short of the runway. Five of the eight people on board were killed and three survived. The investigation found that the crew failed to fly the instrument approach, probably because of fatigue, and noted a possible overweight takeoff from Vigo.
