Before the crash of the An-26 in the Kharkov region in Ukraine, the landing priority could have been given to the other side. This was reported by the head of the regional administration Alexei Kucher.
“From the moment the pilot requested a landing, the people responsible for that landing only responded after a minute. Allegedly, this happened due to the fact that they landed another board. At the same time, it was already clear and known that one of the engines was no longer working… And the question is: why did the people who were responsible for landing, having received information about a faulty engine near the plane with cadets, give priority to the other side… And after a minute our guys suffered a wreck”, – Kucher said.
He also added that the investigation should now work out this version in the first place.
