According to reports, the plane developed an engine problem while in the air, prompting the crew to contact the control tower at Rize-Artvin Airport as they attempted to make an emergency landing.
However, the aircraft was unable to reach the runway and was eventually forced to ditch in the Black Sea, reportedly around four nautical miles from the coast.
Following the emergency alert, the Turkish Coast Guard launched a rescue operation. A vessel, two boats and a diving team were reportedly deployed to the area to assist those involved in the incident.
