All Ukrainian flights suspended from Iranian airspace starting January 9 - PM
Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk said in a Facebook post that the causes of Wednesday's crash, which killed 176 people soon after takeoff from Tehran, will be "properly investigated and made public after the investigation."
Until they are established, the country's State Aviation Service (SAS) has suspended all Ukrainian airline flights over Iran’s airspace starting midnight January 9, Honcharuk added.
He said a working group will be sent to Iran to assist in the investigation. This will include five personnel from the National Bureau for Investigation of Aviation and Passenger Aircraft Incidents, two people from SAS and three personnel from Ukraine International Airlines.
The PM added that psychologists and medical staff are working with families of the deceased at Kiev's Boryspil International Airport.
