Template:Campaignbox 2019 Persian Gulf crisis Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Tehran to Kiev, operated by Ukraine International Airlines. On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737–800 operating this route crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport.[3][4] All 176 passengers and crew were killed, making it the deadliest aviation disaster in Iran in more than a decade. The crash surpassed Air India Express Flight 812 as the deadliest incident involving the Boeing 737-800 and places second in the number of deaths involving the Boeing 737 series, right after the Lion Air Flight 610. The crash was the first fatal aviation incident for Ukraine International Airlines since the start of its operation in 1992.[5]

The flight was operated by Ukraine International Airlines, the flag carrier and the largest airline of Ukraine, on a scheduled flight from the Iranian capital Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport to Boryspil International Airport in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Emergency officials confirmed that the aircraft was carrying 176 people on board, including nine crew members. Fifteen of the passengers were children.[6]

Flight 752 was scheduled to take off at 05:15 local time (UTC+3:30), but was delayed. It departed Stand 116 and took off from Runway 29R at 06:12 local time and was expected to land in Kyiv at 08:00 local time (UTC+2:00).[7][2] The final ADS-B data received was at 06:14, less than three minutes after departure. According to the data, the last recorded altitude was at 7,925 feet (2,416 m) above mean sea level with a groundspeed of 275 knots (509 km/h).[8][9] The airport itself is 3,305 feet (1,007 m) above mean sea level, which would give an altitude of 4,620 feet (1,410 m) above ground level. The flight was climbing when the altitude record abruptly ended.[8][10]

The aircraft crashed into terrain located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi; 8.1 nmi) north of the airport. The crash occurred only about four hours after Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on U.S. positions in Iraq for the killing of Gen. Qasem Soleimani.[11] A video, circulated on social media, purportedly shows the moment of the crash.[12] The video suggested that the aircraft was on fire when it began to dive, with some of its parts breaking up in mid-air.[13] It then crashed and exploded.[1] Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) did not confirm the authenticity of the video, but it did state that the aircraft was burning prior to the crash, leading to speculation of a possible accidental shootdown.[14][15]

Shortly after the crash, emergency responders arrived with 22 ambulances, four bus ambulances, and a helicopter, but heavy fires prevented a rescue attempt. The wreckage was strewn over a wide area, with no survivors found at the crash site centered about 35°33′40″ N, 51°06′14″ E.[16] The aircraft was obliterated upon impact.[17]

Aircraft

The aircraft was a Boeing 737-8KV, serial number 38124, registration UR-PSR. It was three and a half years old at the time of the crash, having first flown on 21 June 2016.[1] It was delivered to the airline on 19 July 2016 and it was the first 737 Next Generation aircraft purchased by the airline.[18]

Passengers and crew

According to the spokesperson of Iran’s civil aviation organization, the exact number of people on board was 167 passengers and nine crew members. Iranian state media had initially reported that the aircraft was carrying 180 people. The ISNA stated that most of the passengers were Iranians, however, some foreign nationals were also on the flight.[15] Officials confirmed that at least 130 people on board were Iranian,[19] most of whom were returning to Canada via Ukraine, after the winter holiday.[20][21][22] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that 138 of the 167 passengers were travelling to Canada.[20] Many of the Iranian Canadians were affiliated with Canadian universities, as students or researchers who had travelled to Iran during winter break. The crash was the largest loss of Canadian lives in aviation since the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182.[23]

Recovery operations of the victims of Flight 752

Ukrainian Kyiv-based media outlet Obozrevatel reported that of the 167 passengers' citizenship, 82 were confirmed to be Iranian, 63 were Canadian, three were British, four were Afghans, 10 were Swedish and three were Germans. Eleven Ukrainians were also reported to be onboard.[5] The German Foreign Ministry denied that any Germans were aboard. According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, three people registered in Germany as asylum seekers were aboard.[24][25][better source needed]

The apparent discrepancy in these reports is due to the fact that nearly half of the passengers were dual nationals, and Iran recognizes dual-nationals as Iranian citizens only. Those passengers had to use their Iranian passports when entering and exiting the country, therefore they are registered as Iranians with the Iranian border authorities.[26][failed verification]

In addition to six flight attendants, the pilots consisted of Captain Volodymyr Gaponenko (11,600 hours on Boeing 737 aircraft, including 5,500 hours as captain), instructor pilot Oleksiy Naumkin (12,000 hours on Boeing 737 aircraft, including 6,600 hours as captain), and first officer Serhii Khomenko (7,600 hours on Boeing 737 aircraft).[27]

Aftermath

Reactions

Wreckage of Flight 752

The disaster occurred amid a heightened political crisis between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf, happening just hours after the Iranian military launched 15 missiles towards U.S military airbases in Iraq in response to the Baghdad International Airport airstrike by the US on 3 January, which killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. In response, the United States Federal Aviation Administration, in a NOTAM, banned all American civil aircraft from overflying Iran, Iraq, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.[29][30] Although the US FAA's NOTAM is not binding on non-American airlines, many airlines would take it into consideration when making safety decisions.[31] A number of airlines, including Singapore Airlines,[32] KLM,[33] Air France,[34] and Qantas[31] had began, or were in consideration (Air Astana and SCAT Airlines)[verification needed] to reroute their flights.

Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) suspended flights to Tehran indefinitely shortly after the incident, with flights after the day of the crash no longer available.[5] The suspension also complied a prohibition issued by State Aviation Administration of Ukraine for flights in Iran's airspace for all Ukrainian registration aircraft.[35] Additional airlines reacted to the crash by re-routing flights that overflew Iran, or cancelling flights to Iran. [verification needed] and Flydubai,[verification needed] cancelled flights to Iran.[36] Air Canada rerouted its Toronto-Dubai flight to fly over Egypt and Saudi Arabia, rather than over Iraq as previously.[37]

Al-Hadath, a Dubai-based news channel, wrote that anti-aircraft missiles had shot down the aircraft.[38] The Iranian military denied it was a shootdown event.[39] The ISNA and other Iranian state news agencies reported that the aircraft had experienced technical difficulties.[40] In the immediate aftermath of the crash, Ukraine's Tehran embassy initially blamed engine failure but later retracted the statement.[41] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there should not be any speculation about the cause of the crash.[42]

UIA considered a technical problem to be unlikely as the aircraft had been inspected two days before the incident and no defects had been found.[43] The airline opined that pilot error was impossible to be cited as the cause of the crash as the pilots had exclusively been trained for the Tehran flights for years, noting that Tehran Airport was "not a simple airport".[44]

Iran declared 9 January a national day of mourning for both the victims of Flight 752 and those killed in a stampede at Qasem Soleimani's funeral.[45]

Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed condolences to the relatives of the victims.[46] Officials stated that he would cut his visit in Oman short due to the disaster. President Zelensky later added that several aircraft had been prepared in Kyiv to travel to Tehran to transport the dead.[42] He declared 9 January as a national day of mourning, with flags flying at half mast on government buildings. He also announced for unscheduled inspections on every airliners in the country and asked Ukrainians to refrain from visiting Iran and Iraq for the time being.[47]

Given the large loss of Canadian life, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Transport Minister Marc Garneau both expressed sympathy for the victims. Champagne announced that he was in touch with the Ukrainian government and Garneau announced that Canada was offering assistance in the investigation.[48]

The British Foreign Office said that they are deeply saddened by the loss of life and are urgently seeking confirmation about how many British nationals were on board.[5] The Turkish Foreign Ministry released a statement stating that they are deeply saddened and expressed their condolences to the families who lost their lives, as well as to the "Governments and friendly peoples of Ukraine and Iran".[49] Russian President Vladimir Putin also sent condolences to the two countries.[50][51]

Investigation

Impact zone

Iran Civil Aviation Organization (Iran CAO) spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh reported shortly after the incident that a team of investigators had been sent to the crash site.[15] On the same day, the Ukrainian government said that it would send experts to Tehran to assist with the investigation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the Ukrainian General Prosecutor to open a criminal investigation into the crash.[42] The Ukrainian government had sent 53 representatives to Iran to assist with the investigation, among them were government officials, investigators and representatives from Ukraine International Airlines.[52]

Under standard International Civil Aviation Organization rules, according to Annex 13 of the Chicago Convention, America's National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) would participate in the investigation, as they represented the state of the manufacturer of the aircraft. France's Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile (BEA) would participate as representatives of the state of manufacture of the aircraft's engines and Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure would participate as representatives of the state in which the aircraft was registered. Given the 2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis, it is not known how these organizations would be involved, although it was reported that Iran had stated that American, French and Ukrainian authorities would be involved.[36]

The head of the commission for accidents in the Iran CAO said that they received no emergency message from the aircraft before the crash.[53] It was reported that the aircraft's black boxes (the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder) had been recovered, but spokesman Ali Abedzadeh said it was not clear to which country the box would be sent so that its data could be analyzed.[54] Iran’s aviation authority has said it will not hand over the black boxes either to the aircraft’s manufacturer or US aviation authorities.[55] On 9 January the black boxes were reported, by Iranian investigators, to have been damaged and some parts of their memory lost.[56]

On 9 January, Sweden and Canada were officially invited by the investigation team to join the probe on the crash.[57] The United States National Transportation Safety Board was reportedly also invited to assist in the investigation.[58]

Cause of the crash

On 8 January, Iran's Road and Transportation Ministry released a statement that the aircraft burst into flames after a fire started in one of its engines, causing the pilot to lose control and crash into the ground.[59][42]

According to the Iranian Disaster Mitigation and Management Organization, early investigation of the crash appears to show the cause was a technical issue in the engine.[60][61] Iran CAO announced that the aircraft "turned right following a problem and was headed back to the airport" before it crashed.[62] Investigators stated that, based on the abrupt cut off of the ADS-B data and that the pilot didn't send a distress call, the plane may have suffered a sudden and violent catastrophic failure, regardless of the cause.[63][64]

The Ukrainian embassy in Iran initially said that preliminary details pointed to engine failure, but it retracted the statement shortly thereafter.[65] Later the same day, the embassy said that anything was possible and refused to rule out that the aircraft was hit by a missile.[66] The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine is examining possible causes, "including an anti-aircraft missile strike, a mid-air collision, an engine explosion or an explosion inside the plane carried out by a terrorist"; Ukrainian experts will look for fragments of a Russian-made Tor surface-to-air missile at the site of the crash,[67][68][69] with experts who had been involved in the investigation into the shootdown of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine in 2014 being in the team.[64] On 9 January, CBS News and Newsweek reported US officials had said they believe the aircraft had been shot down in error by an Iranian Tor missile.[70] USA Today reported that the firm IHS Markit reviewed "photographs purportedly taken near the site of the crash to show the guidance section of an SA-15 Gauntlet" and "assesses them to be credible", although they could not confirm their authenticity.[71][72] Ukrainian authorites have not ruled out the possibility, which Iranian authorities deny.[73]
