Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1980s
The following is a list of accidents and incidents experienced by Aeroflot during the 1980s. The deadliest accident the carrier experienced in this decade occurred in July 1985 , when Flight 5143, a Tupolev Tu-154B-2, stalled en route and crashed near Uchkuduk, then located in the Uzbek SSR, claiming the lives of all 200 occupants aboard the aircraft. The second deadliest accident the company went through in the decade took place in October 1984 , when Flight 3352, a Tupolev Tu-154B-1, hit snowploughs upon landing at Omsk Airport, killing 174 of 179 people on board plus four people on the ground. Both accidents combined left a death toll of 378 casualties and involved a Tupolev Tu-154, ranking as the worst ones involving the type, as of February 2012[update].[1]
There were 15 deadly accidents involving more than 50 people killed during this decade. The total number of fatalities for the decade rose to 2,056. When these figures are compared with the ones for the previous decade, the number of people killed aboard Aeroflot aircraft reduced by 1400. Given that most of the events took place within the borders of the Soviet Union, the table below includes hull-loss accidents for which the number of casualties was not published, a common practice during the Soviet era, as only those accidents that took place within the Soviet Union in which there were foreigners involved, or those that occurred outside the country tended to be published or admitted.[2]: 32–34 Given this, the figures for the number of fatalities for the decade might be higher.
During the decade, the airline lost 201 aircraft, split into 1 Avia 14, 8 Antonov An-12s, 93 Antonov An-2s, 10 Antonov An-24s, 8 Antonov An-26s, 1 Antonov An-28, 7 Ilyushin Il-14s, 2 Ilyushin Il-62s, 1 Ilyushin Il-76, 19 Let L-410s, 15 Tupolev Tu-134s, 14 Tupolev Tu-154s, 19 Yakovlev Yak-40s and 2 Yakovlev Yak-42s.
