Siberia Airlines Flight 852
Template:Infobox aircraft occurrence
On January 14, 2002, Siberia Airlines Flight 852 experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines and executed an emergency landing near Novosibirsk, Russia. Although the aircraft went beyond the runway limits and sustained significant damage, no casualties were reported.
Accident
During the flight from Frankfurt to Novosibirsk, the crew was denied permission to land at Tolmachevo Airport. The only viable alternate airport equipped with customs facilities and authorization for the Tu-204 was located in Omsk. The diversion to Omsk was conducted against strong headwinds. Upon nearing Omsk, the aircraft exhausted its fuel supply causing both engines to flame out. The pilots successfully brought the plane down on the runway; however, since the thrust reversers failed to engage, braking was applied manually. Consequently, the airplane overran the runway and collided with several light fixtures. Fortunately, all occupants escaped unharmed. Despite extensive damage, the aircraft was repaired and returned to operational status. Notably, this same airframe was involved in a fatal accident during an attempted landing in dense fog at Domodedovo International Airport, Moscow, Russia on March 22, 2010, operating as Aviastar-TU Flight 1906.
