2018 accident
On 20 July 2018 a Kaz Air Trans Antonov AN-26, registration UP-AN611 performing flight KUY-9554 from Kiev (Ukraine) to El-Alamein (Egypt) with 6 crew, was nearing El-Alamein when the aircraft disappeared from radar screens prompting El-Alamein tower to notify Egypt's Search and Rescue centre. A search located the aircraft about 48 nm from the aerodrome.
The aircraft had been in perfect technical condition prior to the 6 hours flight. The crew was forced to make an emergency landing 48 km from El-Alamein after they ran out of fuel – the incident was ruled an accident. Egypt's Ministry of Transport reported all 6 members of the crew were rescued uninjured.[2]
