September 1, 2006; Iran Air Tours Tu-154 aircraft traveling from Bandar Abbas with 11 crew and 137 passengers on board burst into flames upon landing in Mashhad, Iran at 13.45 local time killing 28 of those onboard.[1][2]
Possible Causes
Immediately after the accident, Iranian state television reported that one of the tires had blown out upon landing, but this was soon discredited. [1] No additional information is currently available.[citation needed]
Aircraft
The aircraft had been in active service since 1988 and had approximately 19,000 hours of flight time over about 2,200 flights. It was originally owned by Aeroflot. The plane was leased by Iran Air Tours in August 2005 after having been operated by a number of other carriers. [2]
