YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) – A plane carrying 21 people has crashed on
takeoff from Armenia’s capital, but there were no deaths reported,
the head of the country’s civil aviation authority said.
The plane, a Canadair CRJ-100, was heading for Minsk, Belarus, when
it flipped over on the runway at Zvartnots Airport and burst into
flames, Avtiom Movsesian said. He said there were 18 passengers and
three crew members aboard.
He did not immediately know the airline to which the plane belonged,
but Russian news reports said it was a plane of Belarus’ Belavia
Airlines.
