The investigation of a fatal aviation accident last year in Turkey concluded that pilot error caused the crash. AtlasJet Flight KK 4203 had originated in Istanbul shortly before 01:00 AM on November 30, 2007, and was approaching Süleyman Demirel Airport at Isparta, Turkey when it collided with terrain about seven miles from the Isparta airport, near a village called Keciborlu. All seven crew members and 50 passengers on board died in the accident.A brief article on the Turkish news website Hürriyet quoted Turkey's Transport Minister, Binali Yildirim, who said that the pilots of the MD-83 aircraft "did not follow the rules during landing, which led to a collision accident."
According to a press statement issued by AtlasJet shortly after the crash, the accident aircraft was on lease to AtlasJet from World Focus Airlines, and the pilots, cabin crew chief, and a flight technician all were employees of World Focus. The other cabin crew were AtlasJet Staff.
