Brazil and the Central Asian country are signatories to the International Civil Aviation Convention, which allows nations involved in the manufacture and operation of aircraft to request accident site inspections
The crash of an Azerbaijani commercial, which occurred this Wednesday (25), can count on the collaboration of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) in the investigations. Brazil and Kazakhstan are parties to the International Civil Aviation Convention, which allows countries involved in the manufacture and operation of aircraft to request accident site inspections. The accident involved an Embraer E-190, which had 67 people on board and crashed near Aktau.
The tragic incident resulted in the death of 38 people, while 29 survived, including three children. The aircraft had taken off from Baku, in Azerbaijan, bound for Grozny, in Chechnya, a republic of the Russian Federation. According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Emergencies, firefighters managed to control a fire that broke out after the plane crash. Initial investigations raised the possibility that the aircraft had been hit by fragments of a missile or a drone that had been intercepted. Initially, authorities considered the possibility of a bird attack.
The FAB has already established contact with the Kazakh authorities to offer technical support in investigations into the accident. However, the Air Force highlights that “it is up to the country in whose territory an aeronautical accident occurred to institute an investigation into the circumstances of the occurrence, and is also responsible for conducting the investigation”.
