On the evening of January 15, 2009, four Il-76 military transport aircraft of the 675th Special Aviation Regiment of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs took off from Chkalovsky air base with military personnel and equipment on board, bound for Makhachkala Airport. Their task was to unload the personnel and military equipment and return to their home Nizhny Novgorod Airport.

The second aircraft (tail number RA-76825) landed at the airport, unloaded and taxied to a runway access point, where it awaited the landing of the third aircraft (tail number RA-76827). The third aircraft, after landing in difficult weather conditions with the minimum established weather (fog, runway visibility 800 meters, vertical visibility 60 meters), touched down, moving however 15–20 meters to the left of the runway.
