Earlier there were slim hopes that the pilots could have ejected before the aircraft hit the ground, but those were meager at best since witnesses reported seeing no parachute during the crash.

One of the preliminary theories as to the cause of the crash is weather conditions, as there was storm in the region.
Kyrgyz Prime Minister Jantoro Satybaldyev held an emergency meeting in connection with the crash, according to media.
