The Tu-144S went into service on 26 December 1975, flying mail and freight between Moscow and Alma-Ata in preparation for passenger services, which commenced in November 1977 and ran a semi-scheduled service until the first Tu-144D experienced an in-flight failure during a pre-delivery test flight, and crash-landed with crew fatalities on 23 May 1978.[13] The Aeroflot flight on 1 June 1978 was the Tu-144's 55th and last scheduled passenger service. A scheduled Aeroflot freight-only service recommenced using the new production variant Tu-144D (Dal'nyaya - long range)[14] aircraft on 23 June 1979, including longer routes from Moscow to Khabarovsk made possible by the more efficient Kolesov RD-36-51 turbojet engines used in the Tu-144D version, which increased the maximum cruising speed to Mach 2.15.[15] Including the 55 passenger flights, there were 102 scheduled Aeroflot flights before the cessation of commercial service. It is known that Aeroflot still continued to fly the Tu-144D after the official end of service, with some additional non-scheduled flights through the 1980s. One report claimed that it was used on a flight from the Crimea to Kiev in 198
