Tehran, Feb 19 (TNS): The wreckage of the plane that crashed in Iran on Sunday has been found, local Irani media are reported.
The Aseman Airlines passenger plane came down in the Zagros mountains on Sunday, and all 66 people on board are feared to have been killed.
Heavy wind and snow forced search and rescue teams to be called off late on Sunday but they resumed the search on Monday. The ATR 72-500 twin-engine turboprop was travelling from Tehran to the south-western city of Yasuj. The crash site is about 22km (14 miles) from Yasuj, Iranian media reported, in the Mount Dena area, close to the city of Semirom in Isfahan province. The crashed plane was 25 years old, Iran’s civil aviation organisation said. Sixty passengers, two security guards, two flight attendants and the pilot and co-pilot were on board.
