What happened
A cargo operation departing from Payam Airport toward Sharjah encountered severe mechanical difficulties shortly after departure. During the initial climb phase, the crew reported a technical emergency involving the failure of three engines. Following this declaration, air traffic control authorized the aircraft to perform an immediate return to the departure airfield.
As the flight progressed, the captain determined that the aircraft lacked sufficient performance to complete the return to the runway. In an attempt to manage the situation, the pilot executed an emergency landing procedure. The aircraft type (unspecified) subsequently crash landed in a field situated approximately 5 km from the airport. The force of the impact caused the airframe to disintegrate into multiple fragments and ignited a post-crash fire.
Findings
Despite the structural breakup and the resulting fire, all 12 occupants managed to exit the wreckage. There were no fatalities reported, though the individuals sustained minor injuries during the event.
