Aircraft reported by Aviation Safety Network as a Hawker 850XP with a crew of 3, 2 Jordanians and a Lebanese.

Passengers were an Asiacell Mobile phone director - company being based at the airport where the jet crashed - and three others listed as a Briton, an American, and a Spaniard - listed as businessmen guests' of Asiatech.

There are two 800XP's in Jordan, and two 800XP's and a 900XP in Lebanon.

Asiacell is a division of The Faruk Group Holding - both based in Sulaimaniyah Iraq - site of the crash. Interesting article on Asiacell from 2007; Asiacell and Korek, Kurdistan rivalries play out on cellphones
