SCAT captain says they were out of fuel?
"
She called her father [a SCAT captain]
right after the accident and he named a possible reason of the plane crash. “My father says that the pilot asked for an emergency landing (in Almaty airports), but they we told to make the second round. They did not allow the landing (at the first approach). The planes are normally diverted to Karaganda airport in case of bad weather conditions in Almaty. But apparently they didn’t have enough fuel (to make it to Karaganda airport).”
