An Iranian plane lands in the street amid panic and panic of passengers

A civil plane in Iran was forced to make an emergency landing on a street in the central province of Isfahan, due to a technical malfunction.

The official Iranian news agency IRNA quoted an official in the Civil Aviation Authority as saying that a Caspian airliner had taken off from the city of Mashhad, in the north-east of the country, towards Isfahan.

But due to a technical glitch, the plane was forced to land outside Isfahan Airport.

One of the passengers who got out of the plane documented the evacuation of the 119 passengers through the rubber stairs.

The man was speaking in Arabic and with an Iraqi accent, and said: "God saved us, praise be to God...a flight accident."

Iranian authorities say one passenger was injured.

This is not the first time that an Iranian plane has landed on a public street away from the airport runway, as a similar incident occurred in early 2020.

Many say the recurrence of such accidents in Iran is that the air fleet is old and worn out to a large extent, due to the lack of spare parts.
