The most recent audit by the International Civil Aviation Organisation, in 2017, found Ukraine to be below average for licensing, legislation, airworthiness, accident investigation and operations.
The biggest aviation disaster in recent history was the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July 2014 on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. The Boeing 777 with 298 people onboard was shot down by a missile fired from rebel-held eastern Ukraine.One of the three Britons killed in the Iran plane crash was only aboard the doomed flight because he and his wife had waited behind in the Iranian capital to pick up their wedding photographs.

All 176 passengers aboard the Ukraine International Airlines flight were killed after it crashed into a field outside Tehran. The Boeing 737-800 aircraft had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport in the Iranian capital.

The three Britons killed in a plane crash in Tehran have been unofficially identified as Mohammad Reza Kadkhoda Zadeh, 40, Saeed Tahmasebi Khademsadi, 35, and Sam Zokaei, 42.

The names of the passengers appeared on an unofficial passenger list posted on Facebook by a Ukrainian blogger. They included three people travelling on British passports. The Telegraph has confirmed the identities with neighbours, friends and relatives of the three people thought to have died.

It is not clear whether the incident is related to Iran's missile attacks on US bases in Iraq on Wednesday morning.
