TWO Spanish women were on board a private jet which crashed in Iran on the way back to Istanbul from the United Arab Emirates, leaving no survivors.
Eight passengers, two pilots and a flight attendant – all women – were returning from Mina Basaran's hen party in Dubai when it went down yesterday (Sunday).
The craft, owned by the company Basaran Holdings, crashed in the Sehr-i-Kurd area to the south of Isfahan in the Helen mountains, bursting into flames as it hit the ground.
According to the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet, the bride - Mina, 28, daughter and heiress of the chairman of the company, Huseyin Basaran – was with five other Turkish women and two Spanish ladies, all guests at her hen party.
She was due to get married in April.
Mina had uploaded pictures from the hen party on her Instagram account (pictured), during which the group attended a concert by British-Croatian singer Rita Ora in a Dubai nightclub.
The Spanish women have not been named, and it is not known why the aircraft crashed.
