The 2009 Makhachkala Il-76 collision occurred on 15 January 2009 near 18:00 UTC, when two Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) collided at Uytash Airport serving the city of Makhachkala in Dagestan, Russia.
One of the aircraft was landing in freezing fog [1] with 31 crew and passengers on board, while the other, having disembarked all of its passengers, was taxiing for take-off. The taxiing Il-76 crossed the taxiway end-line but did not report its position to air traffic control (ATC).[ failed verification ] ATC gave permission to the approaching Il-76 to land. Due to a sudden gust of wind, the landing aircraft deviated to the right[ failed verification ] and struck the taxiing Il-76's cockpit with its wing.[ citation needed ] Both aircraft then caught fire.[ failed verification ] The airport was closed until the following morning.

Four crew members were killed in the taxiing aircraft. There were no fatalities among the occupants of the landing aircraft. 2 passengers on board the taxiing Il-76 survived with major injuries. [3]

It was developed to deliver heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas. Military versions of the Il-76 have been widely used in Europe, Asia and Africa, including use as an aerial refueling tanker or command center.
