Antonov An-26 transport plane crashed in Russia last month, killing 6 people. At the same time, in July this year, an Antonov An-26 twin engine turboprop crashed in Kamchatka, killing all 28 people on board. Russian aviation safety standards have improved over the years, but only older aircraft are being operated in remote areas. This is the reason why there has been no reduction in plane accidents in Russia.
