In a statement released by his spokesperson, Farhan Haq, Guterres conveyed his profound sadness over the 12 June disaster. The crash resulted in casualties not only among the passengers and crew on board but also among residents at the BJ Medical College hostel, which the aircraft struck during the incident.
Guterres extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, to the people and Government of India, and to all other nations whose citizens were affected by the tragedy. He also wished a swift and full recovery to those injured in the crash.
