The final report on the Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) plane crash near Aktau last December will be completed in the coming months. Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev made the announcement at a press conference.
The Embraer E-190 was en route from Baku to Grozny when it was downed near the Kazakh city of Aktau. The incident led to the deaths of 38 people. Among the 67 on board, 29 survived the crash, with several sustaining serious injuries.
The wreckage of the Embraer 190 is currently stored in a hangar in Aktau, where international experts continue their examination.
Bozumbayev said that Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Transport is working intensively, in cooperation with international experts from several countries as part of the ongoing investigation into the plane crash.
“Some of the equipment is still abroad for examination but is expected to return soon. The analysis phase is nearly complete, and we are now moving toward the preparation of the final report, which is expected to be finalised in the coming months,” he stated as Kazinfom reported.
In addition, he noted that law enforcement agencies are conducting an explosive technical examination.
“I do not want to politicise this issue; it is simply a matter of how the damage occurred,” Bozumbayev said.
“The explosive technical examination, conducted by law enforcement agencies, will provide the answers. As far as I know, requests have been sent to other countries that use weapons with similar striking elements found on the plane’s fuselage. I’m confident that by the end of the year, all necessary procedures will be completed thoroughly and accurately,” Bozumbayev added.
