Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, announced that investigations into the plane crash that killed Libyan Chief of General Staff Mohamed Al-Haddad and several companions have reached an advanced stage, following the completion of black box analysis and the submission of results to the Turkish Public Prosecutor’s Office.
According to Turkish media reports, Uraloğlu told reporters ahead of a parliamentary meeting of the Justice and Development Party that the analysis of black box data had been fully completed, describing it as a pivotal step in uncovering the circumstances of the incident.
He added that investigations began immediately after the crash, involving specialized technical teams working alongside judicial authorities, stressing that the case is being handled under direct supervision of the public prosecutor with a high degree of precision.
Responding to allegations raised by a deputy leader of the Republican People’s Party regarding malfunctioning cameras at the aircraft apron, Uraloğlu dismissed the claims as inaccurate, urging against interfering with the investigation and calling for respect for the confidentiality of procedures.
On February 4, Uraloğlu had revealed that preliminary findings from the black box indicated that two electrical generators on the aircraft had failed, which is believed to be a key factor behind the crash.
The incident dates back to December 23, 2025, when a private plane crashed near Haymana, south of Ankara, while transporting Al-Haddad along with four senior officials and three crew members, all of whom were killed in the crash.
