Bek Air Flight 2100 was a domestic passenger flight from Almaty to Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, operated by a Fokker 100 that crashed on 27 December 2019 while taking off from Almaty International Airport. Of the 98 people on board – 93 passengers and 5 crew, 13 died in the crash and 66 were injured. The Kazakh government started investigations on the same day.
The aircraft involved was a Fokker 100, built in 1996, which was previously flown by Formosa Airlines, Mandarin Airlines, Contact Air, and OLT Express Germany, before joining the Bek Air fleet in 2013 as UP-F1007. Bek Air had leased the aircraft to Kam Air in September 2016, then returned. The aircraft was then leased to Safi Airways in February 2017, and finally to Air Djibouti in December 2018, before being returned again to Bek Air. The aircraft remained in service with Bek Air until the day of the accident which destroyed it. The airworthiness certificate of the aircraft had been renewed on 22 May 2019.
The captain was 58-year-old Marat Ganievich Muratbaev and the first officer was 54-year-old Mirzhan Gaynulovich Muldakulov.
The aircraft crashed into a building just after takeoff from Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan. The plane took off from runway 05R and lost altitude shortly afterwards. During take-off, its tail reportedly hit the runway twice.[1][8] It reportedly turned to the right and hit a concrete perimeter fence, before impacting a two-floor building in a residential area, close to the perimeter track, around 7:22 am local time. The front of the aircraft broke away from the main fuselage, sustaining significant damage, and the tail broke off at the rear.
One of the survivors stated he had seen ice on the wings. In a telephone conversation, he said, "The left-wing jolted really hard, I noticed that then jolted the right [wing], and the plane began swinging as a boat." He continued, "When we took off, the plane began to shake very hard and I knew it was going to fall ... All the people who stepped on the wing fell, because there was ice. I cannot say that [before taking off] the wings were not sprayed with antifreeze, but the fact is that there was ice [visible on the wings]." The temperature at the time was −12 °C (10 °F) and visibility was 1,000 m (3,300 ft), with thick fog close to the scene.
Passengers reported opening of the over-wing exit, using which they crawled out of the aircraft, ice on the wings however caused escaping passengers to slip and fall.
