      The IAC once again confirms the need of establishing intenational commission under the ICAO authorirty with participation of experts and international regional organisations for impartial and independent investigation and ascertainining causes of this major fatal accident with 298 fatalities including large number of children, development of necessary measures to prevent such fatal accidents and making the investigation results avaliable to the public.
