Makhachkala Il-76 collision 
Accident summary Date January 15, 2009 Type Ground collision Site Uytash Airport, Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia Fatalities 4 Survivors 3 Aircraft type Ilyushin Il-76 Operator Russian Air Force The Makhachkala Il-76 collision occurred on January 15, 2009 near 18:00 UTC, when two Ilyushin Il-76 military transport aircraft collided at the Uytash Airport serving the city of Makhachkala in Dagestan, Russia.
One plane was landing with 31 soldiers on board, while the other plane, having unloaded all of its soldiers, was taxiing for take-off. The taxiing plane crossed the taxiway end-line but did not report its position to air traffic control (ATC). ATC gave permission to the approaching plane to land. Due to a sudden gust of wind, the landing plane deviated to the right and struck the taxiing plane's cockpit with its wing.[1] Both planes caught fire. The airport was closed until the following morning.[2]
Four crew members were killed in the taxiing plane, and one more was reported missing.[3]
