A Kolavia Tupolev TU-154M on behalf of Taban Air, registration RA-85787 performing flight HH-64 from Isfahan to Mashad (Iran) with 157 passengers and 13 crew, was holding near Mashad due to visibility at Mashad being below minimums, when a passenger became seriously ill. The crew declared emergency and decided to attempt the ILS approach to Mashad's runway 31R despite the low visibility. Upon touchdown at 07:20L (03:50Z) the airplane veered temporarily off the runway, the gear collapsed, one wing impacted the ground and the airplane burst into flames. 46 people received minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.
Iranian Authorities said, that there were no fatalities. The cause of the accident is under investigation. Runway 13L/31R remains closed following the accident.
Runway 31R is 3811 meters (12500 feet) long and is equipped with a Category I ILS.
The flight had originated in Abadan (Iran) and was diverted to Isfahan due to poor visibility in Mashad. The airplane departed Isfahan for Mashad again at 05:35L.
