A cargo plane that crashed in South Sudan, killing at least 36 people, was not authorised to carry passengers, the head of the country’s Civil Aviation Authority has said.
Stephen Warikozi said that the captain of the Antonov AN-12 informed the control tower at Juba International Airport before taking off that he had 12 passengers and six crew members.
A cargo plane has crashed near the international airport in the South Sudanese capital of Juba, killing at least 23 people.
Some of the victims were children, according to an Associated Press reporter near the scene, who said wreckage was strewn over the east side of the River Nile.
