Bek Air Crash in Kazakhstan Raises Safety Concerns
At least 15 are dead following the crash of a Bek Air Fokker 100 taking off from Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan.

The crash of a Bek Air Fokker 100 on takeoff from Kazakhstan’s largest airport, Almaty International, has reopened speculation about the safety of Kazakh carriers. Kazakhstan’s airlines were blacklisted by the European Union from 2009 to 2016 due to safety oversight issues, with the exception of Air Astana, which was taken off the list at the end of 2015.
