 Turkey grounds C-130 aircraft temporarily after crash kills 20 military personnel

ANKARA, TURKEY - Turkey has temporarily grounded its fleet of C-130 military cargo planes following a fatal crash in Georgia that killed all 20 service members on board, the Defense Ministry said Thursday.

The aircraft, en route from Ganja, Azerbaijan, to Turkey, went down on Tuesday in the Sighnaghi municipality near the Azerbaijani border. The ministry confirmed the cause of the crash is under investigation. Those killed were part of a unit responsible for maintaining and repairing Turkish F-16 jets that had participated in Azerbaijan’s Victory Day celebrations, marking the country’s 2020 military campaign in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Citing safety concerns, the Defense Ministry said all C-130s will undergo thorough technical inspections before returning to service. Only planes passing these checks will resume flights. The ministry also dispatched an investigation team, and the aircraft’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been sent to Ankara for analysis.

The plane, acquired from Saudi Arabia in 2012 and integrated into Turkey’s Air Force in 2014, had undergone modernization and most recently completed maintenance on Oct. 12. Officials confirmed no ammunition was on board at the time of the crash.

Debris from the plane was scattered over several locations, and the final victim’s remains were recovered on Thursday. Funerals are planned once all remains are returned to Turkey and autopsies are completed.
