Got this from a German accident news site:
DATE: 10.10.2001 LOCAL TIME: ~23:45
LOCATION: Cebu City-Mactan Intīl AP / Philippines
AIRLINE: AJT Air International
TYPE: Ilyushin 86 REGISTRATION: - C/N: - Age: -
OPERATION: INP FLIGHT: Vladivostok -> Melbourne
OCCUPANTS: 286 pax + 27 crew FATALITIES: 0 INJURIES: 0 DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT: minor/substantial(?)
On approach, the aircraft flew too low and struck at least 19 approach lights and knocked down a localizer antenna before a safe landing was made. According to unconfirmed reports the aircraft suffered a fuel emergency situation prompted the pilots carry out an emergency landing at Ceby City. The aircraft left the airport again at about 03:30 the following day.
Notice (after the fact that there were 27 crew on board!) that the aircraft landed at around 23.45 and despite having demolished a fair number of the landing lights, managed to leave about 3h30 later!
They don't hang around, these Russians!
