Cargo plane crash-lands in Maban, crew members survive
An Antonov 26B cargo plane was damaged in a runway excursion and post
impact fire after landing at Maban airstrip in Northern Upper Nile on
Monday, a senior aviation official said.
The General Manager of Juba International Airport, Kur Kuol told Radio
Tamazuj today that the aircraft was carrying supplies on behalf of
UNHCR to Maban.
He further said the plane failed to stop on runway was a result of bad
weather condition, and overran. He further said investigations are
underway. “No casualties were reported because it was a cargo plane.
We are still waiting for the pilot to come to give us more details
about the incident,” he said.
Last week, a 5-year-old girl was killed and four people injured in
Juba when a WFP-contracted aircraft struck a house while attempting to
land during a thunderstorm.
