The IrAero Antonov An-26 suffered a loss of cabin pressure after departure from Yakutsk-Magan Airport (GYG), Russia. After climbing to 2900 meters, the locks on the right hand side of the cargo ramp failed and the ramp partially opened.
The right and central fastenings of the ramp were damaged, and part of the luggage flew out of the aircraft.
Twelve minutes after the depressurization was discovered, the plane landed safely at GYG.
The aircraft was operating a charter flight on the Irkutsk-Yakutsk-Magadan route. Landing in Magan was initially caused by weather conditions in Yakutsk.
