The investigation into the crash of the AZAL-operated Embraer-190 aircraft, which resulted in multiple fatalities, is still underway, and findings will be presented by the end of the year, Orda reported, citing Kazakhstan’s Deputy Minister of Transport Maksat Kaliagparov, APA reports.
Speaking at a briefing, the deputy minister said it is not yet possible to confirm whether the investigation will be fully completed by the end of the year, as the process requires complex expert examinations.
“Preliminary results were fully presented three months after the crash. More in-depth analysis is currently being conducted. There are very complex expert reviews involved. Once the work is completed, the report will be made fully available to the media. We cannot give a precise timeline, as this is a very serious matter. However, we will provide updates based on this year’s results,” Kaliagparov stated.
The Embraer-190 aircraft crashed on December 25, 2024, near the port of Aktau. The plane was carrying 67 people, 38 of whom — including six Kazakh citizens — died. The incident caused tension between Azerbaijan and Russia as the aircraft was reported to have been damaged in Russian airspace.
