Almaty, January 29 (AZERTAC). A passenger plane has crashed near Kazakhstan`s commercial capital, Almaty, killing at least 15 people, officials say.

The CRJ-200 aircraft was travelling from the northern town of Kokshetau.

Kazakhstan`s Scat airlines said it believed everyone on board died when it crashed in heavy fog at 13:13 (07:13 GMT) on approach to Almaty`s airport.

Last month, a military plane carrying top Kazakh security officials crashed, killing all 27 people on board.

The airline has said that that 20 people - 15 passengers and five crew members - were on board the Canadian-built Bombardier aircraft, though other reports suggest that up to 22 people might have been.

Established in 1997, Scat airlines is based in Kazakhstan with its main base at Shymkent airport. It operates extensive domestic services as well as some international flights.
