All 14 people on board were killed after a small passenger aircraft crashed southwest of Juba on Monday, according to South Sudan’s Civil Aviation Authority.
The aircraft, a Cessna 208 Caravan operated by City Link Aviation, lost contact during a domestic flight from Yei to Juba International Airport. Authorities said the plane took off at 09:15 local time and disappeared from radar at 09:43.
The victims included 13 passengers and one pilot. Among those on board were one Kenyan national and 12 South Sudanese citizens.
Initial reports suggest the crash may have been caused by poor weather conditions, particularly low visibility. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the incident.
