A Russian-built Sukhoi Superjet 100-95LR (operating Flight AZO5051) caught fire on the 24th of November after landing at Antalya Airport in Turkey (Antalya is a very popular Turkish leisure destination). Dramatic footage of the burning jet emerged on social media, showing passengers evacuating the runway with the aircraft ablaze in the background. All crew and passengers were successfully evacuated. Russian aircraft incidents tripled in 2023 as the country suffered from international sanctions (it is unclear if that trend has continued in 2024).
