The aircraft crashed while taking off at Afghanistan's Dwyer airport May 18, at 14:30 (UTC/GMT +4 hours).

The rented aircraft had an international crew, which included a citizen of Uzbekistan (captain), three citizens of Ukraine and five Azerbaijani nationals.

Representatives of the commission established by the State Civil Aviation Administration of Azerbaijan continue to work at the scene.
