Plane crash in Iran kills five onboard
An aircraft being used for training has crashed on approach to the airport of suburban Isfahan, killing all five people on board.
The crash occurred when the plane intended to land in Isfahan's Shahin-Shar airport on Sunday afternoon. Its crew including a pilot and four co-pilots were immediately killed in the incident.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
According to Tabnak Website, the plane was an Antonov An-140, a short-range turboprop. A Russian design, the vessel is being produced in Iran under license by HESA as Iran-140. It carries a maximum of 52 passengers.
The country's aviation system functions under severe constraints ever since the US imposed tough sanctions against Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution which toppled a Washington-allied monarch in the country. Aircraft parts are one banned item.
Passenger death has since become a reality in Iran's air crashes. Between 2000 to 2006, 11 Iranian plane crashes claimed the lives of 700 people.
