TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian Minister of Roads, Transportation and Urban Development said the pilot is responsible for a plane's rough landing which came in northeastern Iran last week.
"The barrier in front of the plane was a natural barrier for fighters and the pilot's mistake caused the plane crashed into the barrier," Ali Nikzad told reporters Friday.
"We are doing our best for safety of flights, since the first mistake in flights is the last one," he added.
A passenger plane operated by the private Iranian airline Mahan Air has made a rough landing in Mashhad in the northeast of the country.
Mahan Air Flight 613 took off from the capital Tehran headed for Iran's second largest city, Mashhad, at 10:30 p.m. local time last Saturday.
The aircraft's front tire burst as soon as it touched down on the runway at Mashhad's Shahid Hashemi Nejad International Airport.
The pilot of the Airbus jet managed to avoid disaster and saved the lives of all 230 passengers on board.
However, the incident left several people with minor injuries taken to a hospital to receive medical treatment.
