Flight radar information showed Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 abruptly disappearing after takeoff from the Imam Khomeini airport after taking off just after 6 am local time.
There were 167 passengers and 9 crew members on board, the airline said.
Later in the day, Pir-Hossein Koulivand, the head of Iran’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS), confirmed to Tasnim news agency that everyone on board had died.
Rescue workers have been dispatched to the crash site located between the cities of Parand and Shahriar, but couldn’t come closer because it was ablaze. The authorities sent in 22 ambulances, four bus ambulances and a medevac helicopter, Koulivand told.
Radar data showed the 737-800 crashing two minutes after takeoff. Multiple Iranian agencies reported on the crash, blaming unspecified “technical problems.”
UIA is the flag carrier of Ukraine and serves almost 90 destinations. It began flying to Tehran in the summer of 2014.
