It’s a sad day for aviation, as a commercial airliner crashed, killing dozens…
There were 48 people onboard, including 42 passengers (including five children) and six crew members. Sadly there were no survivors. At the time of the accident, visibility was good, winds were light, and there was light rain and scattered clouds. My thoughts are with those onboard and their families… how awful.
In the case of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, that’s due to sanctions that are in place, which make it difficult for Russian airlines to acquire new aircraft, or even parts. In this case, Antonov aircraft are primarily from Ukraine.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
