<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>At least 66 others survived with injuries, with 50 of them sent to hospital.</p>
<p>The Bek Air aircraft lost altitude soon after takeoff at 7:22am local time before crashing into a concrete fence and a two-story building, the airport said.</p>
<p>In a statement on its Facebook page, the airport said there was no fire and a rescue operation got underway immediately following the crash.</p>

<p>Around 1,000 people were working at the snow-covered site of the crash. The weather in Almaty was clear, with mild sub-zero temperature that is common at this time of the year.</p>
<p>Footage showed the front of the broken-up fuselage which had rammed a house, and the rear of the plane which was lying in a field next to the airport.</p>
<p>The plane was flying to Nur-Sultan, the country’s capital formerly known as Astana.</p>
<p>The aircraft was identified as a Fokker-100, a medium-sized, twin-turbofan jet airliner. The company manufacturing the aircraft went bankrupt in 1996 and the production of the Fokker-100 stopped the following year.</p>

<p>All Bek Air and Fokker-100 flights in Kazakhstan have been suspended pending the investigation of the crash, the country’s aviation authorities said.</p>
