The aircraft is said to have been operated by local carrier Itek Air.

[link to afp.google.com]
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AFP) — A passenger plane with more than 90 people onboard crashed Sunday shortly after take-off from the airport in the Kyrgyzstan capital of Bishkek, a civil aviation official said.
The Boeing-737 operated by Kyrgyz air company Itek Air was flying to Moscow when it went down not far from Manas airport in Bishkek, Alexander Aksyonov from the Kyrgyz civil aviation agency told a local radio station.
"There are victims," he said.
The emergencies ministry said the plane was flying to Iran and had 123 people on board, RIA Novosti news agency reported quoting a spokeswoman.
Rescue teams and firefighters were dispatched to the site of the crash a few kilometres (miles) from the airport where the plane was engulfed in fire, she said.
US military officials at a nearby base sent firefighters and medical staff to the scene, said Aygul Karemshakova, a press spokeswoman for the US base in Kyrgyzstan.

Only 25 people out of more than 120 who were on board survived the crash, the RIA news agency quoted the head of national civil aviation authority as saying.
The Interfax news agency said the Boeing-737 belonged to a private Kyrgyz company, Itek-Air, and was heading from Kyrgyzstan to Mashhad in eastern Iran.
The crash occurred after the crew reported a technical problem on board about 10 minutes into the flight, according to an airport official.
A spokeswoman for the US airbase in Bishkek said: "At the moment rescue teams, fire brigades and medics are rushing to the crash site."
Radio Free Europe's correspondent in Bishkek said it was believed that some crew and passengers sitting at the rear of the plane survived but that those in the middle were thought to have died. |

A health ministry spokeswoman in the former Soviet republic said that 71 people were killed in the crash.
At least 14 people rescued from the burning plane were taken to hospital, two of them in a critical condition, Yelena Bayalinova said.
An official at Manas International Airport said the crash occurred after the crew reported a technical problem on board about 10 minutes into the flight.
She said that were 83 passengers and seven crew members on board at the time.
The Boeing-737 belonged to a private Kyrgyz company, Itek-Air, but was operated by Iran Aseman Airlines, she added.
The Interfax news agency reported that it was heading from Kyrgyzstan to Mashhad in eastern Iran.
The US base at Manas airport sent ambulances and firefighting equipment in response to a request for help, Major Damian Pickart said.
Itek Air has been banned from operating in the airspace of the European Union because of failure to meet safety and aviation standards, according to a list published by the EU on July 24.
Kyrgyzstan is a poor, mountainous country west of China.
The US airbase in the country supports operations in nearby Afghanistan. |

Just like I thought this thread was pinned focusing purely on the MSM info and the MODS totally ignoring the alternative news and views on the other thread.
From where I live PRUZKA is one of the oldest text message news mobile services. Just becaue google does'nt allow access from the west ISP's as with China, it doesnt mean it doesnt exist. I pity those of you and the mods who live in the West. You've all missed out on a very important happening today. Continue with your slumber.... |

Oh please. I posted this thread 20 minutes before the other thread - so I win!! Thanks mods. I immediately posted on this thread it was a dup an OP ignored it and continued on the woo-woo angle.
I highlighted that the crash was near an based that is a launch point for ops against Afghanistan - so who knows.
An airliner crashes from an airline that is banned for flying in the EU for safety reasons and everyone thinks conspiracy - maybe there is something to it and maybe not - we'll see. |

Kissinger is a private contractor and does "work" with Iran. This would not have been an official diplomatic mission, more like a covert private agenda being served. If that part of the story is even true. I can see why the US would want to cover up that information if it is true. Bush allows Kissinger all the "privacy" he needs to work his international intrigues.
CNN has a slightly different story, 83 people on board plus 7 crew, plane was having trouble and turned around to return to the airport crashing just 3 miles out.
They acknowledge that InterFax had a different account.
CNN has updated their page on this. Some interesting info in here:
[ link to www.cnn.com]
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) -- Seventy-one people were killed in Sunday's crash of an Iran-bound passenger jet near the main airport in Kyrgyzstan, a Kyrgyz government spokeswoman said.
Government spokeswoman Roza Daudova said 24 people survived the crash. She said the known survivors included seven out of 17 members of a high school basketball team in Bishkek.
The Boeing 737, was bound for Iran and crashed shortly after takeoff near the Bishkek airport, Kyrgyz and U.S. officials said.
An official at Manas International Airport said the crash occurred after the crew reported a technical problem on board about 10 minutes into the flight to Tehran and that the plane was returning to the airport.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to give her name.
Kyrgyz Interior Minister Maldomusa Kongatiyev told The Associated Press that the plane went down 6 miles from the airport.
Maj. Damian Pickart, public affairs officer for the Manas U.S. air base, which is at the airport, said the base sent ambulances and firefighting equipment in response to a Kyrgyz request for help.
An airport official said the plane belonged to Itek Air, a Kyrgyz company, but was operated by Iran Aseman Airlines. Russia's Interfax news agency said the plane was headed to Mashhad in northeastern Iran.
Itek Air has been banned from operating in the airspace of the European Union because of failure to meet safety and aviation standards, according to a list published by the EU July 24.
Kyrgyzstan is a poor, mountainous country west of China. The U.S. air base in the ex-Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan supports operations in nearby Afghanistan.
Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan and the country's largest city, has a population about 1 million and is situated in the northern part of the Central Asian nation. Manas International Airport is about 16 miles northwest of downtown.
The United States has two bases in Central Asia, the one in Bishkek and the other in Uzbekistan, which are leased to support the U.S. military operation against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A passenger jet carrying 90 people, including a Kyrgyz high school sports team, crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday near the Kyrgyz capital, killing 68, government officials said.
The Boeing 737 was headed to Iran when it crashed near Bishkek's Manas International Airport, said government spokeswoman Roza Daudova. Twenty-two people, including two crew members, survived the accident.
Earlier, Daudova, had said there were at least 71 dead and 25 survivors, but she later gave lower figures.
An airport official said the crew reported a technical problem about 10 minutes into the flight and that the plane was returning to the airport when it crashed. The official said she was not authorized to give her name.
Officials said the crash followed the sudden decompression of the jet, which came down in a field near a village.
Among the survivors, were seven out the 17 members of the basketball team from a school in the capital, Bishkek, said Health Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Bayalinova. Presidential adviser Tokon Mamytov, however, later said that the athletes were volleyball, not basketball players.
Eighteen survivors were hospitalized, and four others were sent home with no serious injuries, according to Daudova.
Daudova said the people on board the plane included 24 Kyrgyz citizens, 52 Iranians, three Kazakhs, two Canadians, one citizen of Turkey and one Chinese.
Kyrgyz Interior Minister Moldomusa Kongatiyev said the plane went down 6 miles from the airport.
Maj. Damian Pickart, public affairs officer for the U.S. air base located at the Manas airport, said U.S. ambulances and firefighting equipment were dispatched to the crash site in response to a Kyrgyz request for help.
Several government officials said the plane belonged to Itek Air, a Kyrgyz company, but was operated by Iran Aseman Airlines. But Mamytov, the presidential adviser, said the plane was both owned and operated by Itek Air.
Itek Air has been banned from operating in the airspace of the European Union because of failure to meet safety and aviation standards, according to a list published by the EU July 24.
