Incidents
- On December 10, 1960, crashed Antonov An-2T of Aeroflot (CCCP-33181) , with a flight from Semipalatinsk to Abai was performed. The machine had started without a valid meteorological report and encountered very severe weather conditions along the route. When a U-turn for the return to Semipalatinsk was flown 45 kilometers from the departure airport, several passengers moved to the rear fuselage area to the on-board toilet. This resulted in a shift in the center of gravity, which led to a stall and ultimately to the machine crashing. All 12 occupants were killed (see also Aeroflot flight 11 ) .
