After what local media described as a hard landing, the pilots subsequently lost control and ran beyond the end of runway 20. The Tu-204 struck ILS antennas and finally the elevated highway M4 where its fuselage broke into three major parts. The foreward section of the aircraft including the cockpit came to rest on the multilane highway M4 next to the approach lights of runway 02. Five of the eight crewmembers on board died. A stewardess died the following day bringing the death toll up to five. The surviving crewmembers received serious injuries. At the time the aircraft was operating on a repositioning flight without passengers. Local weather consisted of overcast skies, gusty westerly wings and temperatures 2 degrees below freezing level. According to unconfirmed sources, the flight was on its second landing attempt at Vnukovo. There is speculation that the wheel braking system may have failed after a late touchdown on runway 20.

Almost simultaneously the Fokker 100 made ground contact on a nearby road with all undercarriage down where it killed a motorist until it ran into an open paddy field where it broke apart. Leaking fuel from ruptured lines quickly caught fire setting the wreckage ablaze. Fortunately the vast majority of passengers and crewmembers (among them 2 sercurity personnel) were able to evacuate. One minor passenger, an 11year old boy was found dead. Another eleven people, among then both pilots received various injuries. Myanmar authorities have begun an investigation. Heho Airport is not eqquipped with an ILS-approach landing aid.

In the early stages of the cruiseflight, the pilots experienced an uncontained engine failure prompting them to discontinue further flight and the A330 returned to Phuket. On landing runway 09, at least one maingear tire burst or deflated making the aircraft unable to vacate the runway and forcing the airport to shutdown all operations. All passengers were later able to leave the aircraft unharmed via mobile airstairs. Early reports from different sources indicate they may have been an engine fire and flanes (or sparks) were visible from in passenger cabn before landing. The airport re-opened at 03:35L when the A330 was towed off the runway. Unconfirmed sources indicate there may have been an uncontained failure of the left engine #1 and two of three hydraulic systems went inoperational.

The aircraft went missing on a routine cargo flight from Lima over the Cordilleras Mountains to Las Malvinas. Residents in the Yauyos Cochas Province reported, they saw and heared the aircraft hitting high ground near Huaytapallana Mountain. Other flightcrews in the area reported catching an emergency locator signal (ELT) about 100 km to the east of Lima during that time. Search and rescue operations were hampered by adverse weather condition in the region. The following day, the scattered wreckage was found in the suspected area. The Antonov impacted in upsloping terrain above tree level. There were no survivors. Peruvian authorities have opened an investigation.
NOTE: The accident marks the 2nd severe occurence for Amazon Sky this year after another Antonov AN-26 was badly damaged in a belly landing during a crew checkflight in January (check: list  of accident reports on the JACDEC main page). Two of the seven crewmembers on board the aircraft happened to be on the fatal accident flight on Dec. 17th.

After an apparent normal landing on runway 21 at Nizhnekamsk, the aircraft slid off to the right side of the runway when it was about to turn around 180 degrees. It is yet unclear weather the aircraft came to rest completely off the runway. It is understood there were no passengers on board the aircraft. Early reports suggests the runway was contaminated with an icy layer causing the aircraft to loose it grip. At the time of the landing local weather consisted of temperatures below freezing level.
