Flying Mission Plane Crashes In Gantsi

The plane was bound for Gantsi to airlift a critical patient there. It is operated by medical evacuation company Rescue One, and Flying Mission, which won the tender to airlift patients from rural areas to hospitals in and outside Botswana.

Air worthiness manager at Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Joseph Ebineng, says the accident occurred due to main landing gear collapse. " That actually means the landing wheels were damaged or broken. The aircraft then skidded off the runway."
