Template:Campaignbox 2019 Persian Gulf crisis Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 (PS752) was a scheduled international passenger flight from Tehran to Kiev operated by Ukraine International Airlines, or UIA. On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, which attributed it to human error.[3][4][5] All 176 passengers and crew were killed, making it the deadliest aviation disaster in Iran in more than a decade. The incident was the first fatal aviation incident for Ukraine International Airlines since the start of its operations in 1992.[6]

Initially, Iranian authorities had denied that they had shot down the plane, stating that there was a technical error with the plane. Ukrainian authorities, after initially deferring to Iran's explanation, said a shootdown of the flight was one of their main working theories. American, Canadian and British officials stated that they believed the aircraft had been shot down by a Russian-made Tor M1 surface-to-air missile launched by Iran.[7] Prime minister Justin Trudeau said Canada's own intelligence, as well as evidence provided by US intelligence agencies, suggested the aircraft had been shot down.[8] After four days of describing it as "an American lie", "a wrongful scenario by CIA and the Pentagon", and "an attempt to prevent Boeing stock from a free fall"[9][10], the Revolutionary Guard Corps admitted on 11 January 2020 that it had shot down the aircraft, erroneously identifying it as a hostile target.[11]

The incident came during a period of increased tensions between the United States and Iran, following an airstrike that killed Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani and retaliatory ballistic missile attacks by Iran on US forces in Iraq.[12] It was preceded by an order from the US Federal Aviation Administration that all American civilian aircraft avoid Iranian airspace and was followed by several other nations and airlines ordering their aircraft to avoid Iranian airspace as well.[13][14]

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 Kiev. Emergency officials confirmed that the aircraft was carrying 176 people on board, including nine crew members. Fifteen of the passengers were children.[15]

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 06:12:47 local time and was expected to land in Kiev at 08:00 local time (UTC+2:00).[16][2] The final ADS-B data received was at 06:14:45, less than two minutes after departure.[17]

Between 06:14:20 and 06:14:45 the plane turned right 24° (from the take-off heading of 289° to 313°), according to flight data. [17]

According to the data, the last recorded altitude was at 2,416 metres (7,925 ft) above mean sea level with a groundspeed of 275 knots (509 km/h).[18][19] The airport itself was 1,007 metres (3,305 ft) above mean sea level, which would give an altitude of 1,410 metres (4,620 ft) above ground level. The flight was climbing at just under 3,000ft/minute when the altitude record abruptly ended over open ground near the Northern end of Enqelab Eslami Boulevard, Parand.[18][20]

The aircraft crashed into terrain located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi; 8.1 nmi) north of the airport. The crash occurred about five hours after Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on US positions in Iraq for the killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani.[21]

Shortly after the crash, emergency responders arrived with 22 ambulances, four bus ambulances, and a helicopter, but fires prevented a rescue attempt. The wreckage was strewn over a wide area, with no survivors found at the crash site centred around the Khalaj Abad area.[22] The aircraft was completely destroyed on impact.[23]

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 it being shot down, having first flown on 21 June 2016.[1] It was delivered to the airline on 19 July 2016 and was the first 737 Next Generation aircraft purchased by the airline.[24] The Ukraine International Airlines jet crashed just minutes after taking off from Imam Khomeini International Airport. The airline has defended the plane's maintenance, saying it had just been delivered in 2016 and was inspected just two days before the crash.[25][26][27]

According to the Iran Civil Aviation Organization spokesperson, there were 167 passengers and 9 crew members. Iranian state media had initially reported the aircraft was carrying 181 people. The ISNA stated that most of the passengers were Iranians.[32] Officials confirmed that "at least" 130 people on board were Iranian,[33] most of them returning to Canada via Ukraine.[34][35][36] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that 138 of the 167 passengers were travelling to Canada.[34] Many of the Iranian Canadians were affiliated with Canadian universities, as students or researchers who had travelled to Iran during Christmas break. The crash was the largest loss of Canadian lives in aviation since the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182.[37]

According to Ukrainian foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko and flight manifest released by UIA,[38] out of the 167 passengers' citizenship, 82 were confirmed to be Iranian, 63 were Canadian, 3 were British, 4 were Afghans, 10 were Swedish and 3 were Germans. 11 Ukrainians were also onboard, nine of them being the crew.[6][39] The German Foreign Ministry denied any Germans were aboard.[40] The three individuals in question were Afghan nationals who lived in Germany as asylum seekers.[30]

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, incl. 6,600 as captain) and first officer Serhii Khomenko (7,600 hours on Boeing 737).[41]

Among the passengers was Mojgan Daneshmand, a faculty member of the University of Alberta, winning the IEEE AP-S Lot Shafai Distinguished Mid Career Award. Her husband, Pedram Mousavi, also a faculty member at the same university, and two daughters, were also killed.[42][43]


Reactions

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau speaks to media on 9 January 2020 about the plane crash.

Air traffic

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 US military airbases in Iraq in response to the Baghdad International Airport airstrike by the United States on 3 January, which killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. In response, the US Federal Aviation Administration, in a NOTAM, banned all American civil aircraft from overflying Iran, Iraq, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.[44][45] Although the US FAA's NOTAM is not binding on non-American airlines, many airlines take it into consideration when making safety decisions, especially after the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in 2014.[46][47][48] A number of airlines, including Austrian Airlines[49], Singapore Airlines,[50] KLM,[51] Air France,[52] Air India[52], SriLankan Airlines[53] and Qantas[46] began to reroute their flights. Airlines in the region, such as Lufthansa, Emirates, Flydubai, and Turkish Airlines cancelled some flights to airports in Iran and Iraq and would make further operational changes as necessary.[48][54][55][56]

Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) suspended flights to Tehran indefinitely shortly after the incident, with flights after the day of the crash no longer available.[6] The suspension also complied a prohibition issued by State Aviation Administration of Ukraine for flights in Iran's airspace for all Ukrainian registration aircraft.[57] Since the crash, additional airlines, Air Astana and SCAT Airlines also re-routed flights that overflew Iran.[58][59] This followed a recommendation by the Kazakhstan Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development, issued to Kazakhstani air companies after the crash, to avoid flying over Iran airspace and / or to cancel flights to Iran.[60] Air Canada rerouted its Toronto-Dubai flight to fly over Egypt and Saudi Arabia instead of Iraq.[61]

Iran

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.

On 11 January the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps admitted to shooting down the aircraft, erroneously identifying it as a hostile target.[62] President of Iran Hassan Rouhani called the incident an "unforgivable mistake".[63] A large crowd of students gathered in front of Amir Kabir and Sharif Universities in Tehran shouting slogans condemning government deception about the Ukrainian airliner[64]

Ukraine

Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed condolences to the relatives of the victims.[65] Officials stated that he would cut short his diplomatic visit in Oman due to the disaster. President Zelensky later added that several aircraft had been prepared in Kiev to travel to Tehran to transport the dead. He declared 9 January as a national day of mourning, with flags flying at half mast on government buildings. He also announced unscheduled inspections on every airliner in the country and asked Ukrainians to refrain from visiting Iran and Iraq for the time being.[66]

Canada

With 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.[67]

Investigation

Impact zone

The Iran Civil Aviation Organization (Iran CAO) reported shortly after the incident that a team of investigators had been sent to the crash site.[32] On the same day, the Ukrainian government said that it would send experts to Tehran to assist with the investigation. President Zelensky instructed the Ukrainian General Prosecutor to open a criminal investigation into the crash.[68] The Ukrainian government sent 53 representatives to Iran to assist with the investigation; among them were government officials, investigators, and representatives from UIA.[69]

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.[70]

The head of the commission for accidents in the Iran CAO said that they received no emergency message from the aircraft before the crash.[71] It was reported that the aircraft's Black Boxes (the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder) had been recovered, but Iran CAO said it was not clear to which country the box would be sent so that its data could be analysed.[72] The association stated that it would not hand over the black boxes to Boeing or US authorities.[73] On 9 January the black boxes were reported, by Iranian investigators, to have been damaged and some parts of their memory lost.[74] Mary Schiavo, a former US Department of Transportation inspector general, stated that no automated distress messages were sent from the plane or its crew.[75]

On 9 January, the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority and Transportation Safety Board of Canada were officially invited by the investigation team to participate in the probe on the crash.[49] The US National Transportation Safety Board,[76][77][78] Ukraine, and Boeing were also invited to participate in the investigation.[49] Due to American economic sanctions placed on Iran, US investigators would need a special license from the United States Department of the Treasury and the United States Department of State.[79][80][81]

On 9 January 2020, media reports showed bulldozers being used to clear the crash site. Some aircraft investigation experts expressed concerns about disturbing and damaging the crash site before a thorough investigation can be conducted.[82] Iran denied bulldozing the evidence.[83] On 10 January 2020, the Iranian government granted Ukrainian investigators permission to investigate the flight recorders and Ukrainian investigators visited the crash site.[84][85] The recorders will be downloaded in Tehran.[86]

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.[87][68] 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".[88]

Iranian and Ukrainian government sources initially blamed mechanical issues aboard the aircraft for its crash.[28][89][90] However, the Ukrainian government later retracted its statement and said that anything was possible, refusing to rule out that the aircraft was hit by a missile.[91] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there should not be any speculation about the cause of the crash.[68]

On 9 January 2020, United States intelligence and defense officials said that they believe the aircraft had been shot down by an Iranian Tor missile,[92] based on evidence from reconnaissance satellite imagery and radar data.[93][49] Ukrainian authorities stated that a shootdown was one of the "main working theories", while Iranian authorities denied this, stating that allegations of a missile hit were "psychological warfare".[94][95][96][97] U.K. defense officials agreed with the American assessment of a shootdown.[96] Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said evidence from multiple sources, including Canadian intelligence, suggest the aircraft was shot down by an Iranian missile.[98]

On 11 January 2020, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran admitted in a statement that it had shot down the plane, having erroneously identified it as a hostile target.[99]

When the plane seemed to head toward a military center of the Revolutionary Guard, controllers overlooked it for a “hostile target” to shot it down. Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, however, disputes the timeline, arguing that the plane was on the correct course all the time. There's no proven flight deviation of the airplane.[100][101]

Iranian Brigadiwe general Amir Ali Hajizadeh of the IRGC Aerospace Defense stated a missile operator in Parand had acted independently, mistaking the plane for a US cruise missile and had shot it down. The Tor M1 missile blew up next to the plane, destroying it mid-air. Hajizadeh had recommended a no-fly zone over Tehran that night, in response to fears of US retaliation in the wake of Iranian rocket strikes on US bases in Iraq, but for reasons unclear this was ignored.[102]

Analyses based on social media images

A video circulated on social media shows the moment of the crash.[103] Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) released the same video on its report, and stated that the aircraft was burning prior to the crash.[32]

On 9 January, footage obtained by The New York Times showed a missile striking the aircraft.[104]

Additional footage released to social media includes a section of video from a CCTV camera in the vicinity of the crash site capturing the moment of impact; large amounts of flaming debris were thrown clear of the impact and strewn down a road between two buildings near a football pitch.[105]

Photos of the fuse of a missile from the Tor missile system were reported to have been taken in the city of Parand, where Flight 752 crashed.[106] USA Today reported that the firm IHS Markit reviewed photographs showing the guidance section of a missile and "assesses them to be credible".[107][108] Aviation monitoring group Opsgroup said that: "We would recommend the starting assumption to be that this was a shootdown event, similar to MH17 – until there is clear evidence to the contrary" asserting that photographs "show obvious projectile holes in the fuselage and a wing section".[109]

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) Bellingcat found evidence that the plane was struck by a missile. Using the presence of buildings in the missile hit video, OSINT investigators were able to geolocate the video's recording location, and confirmed that it had been filmed along the flight and crash path of Flight 752.[110]
