In the wake of the crash, all flights operated by Azerbaijan Airlines from Baku and the Russian cities of Grozny and Makhachkala have been grounded. The investigation into what happened is in full swing. Some injured survivors can be seen escaping from the destruction in video captured at the scene. Embraer, the manufacturer of the plane, offered to help the authorities as they worked to determine the cause of this plane crash. He agreed to work with both Azerbaijani and Kazakh officials leading the investigation.

Embraer, from Brazil, is a well-regarded name in aviation. It is known for its commitment to safety and solid performance. They compete with heavyweights like Boeing and Airbus, but right now, their focus is on helping those affected by this heartbreaking event.
