A light aircraft, identified as a Cessna 152 with registration number 5Y-PSJ, operated by West Rift Aviation School, crashed within Nairobi National Park on Thursday. Authorities are still investigating the incident and gathering details regarding the crash.
At this time, it remains unclear how many individuals were on board or if there were any casualties or injuries. The cause of the crash is yet to be determined, but aviation authorities have been notified and are expected to launch a formal investigation soon.
West Rift Aviation School, which uses the aircraft to train aviation students, has not yet released a statement. This crash comes just days after a separate incident involving a Cessna Caravan at Migori Airstrip. In that case, the plane veered off the runway during takeoff, but all 10 passengers and the crew were safely evacuated without injuries.
The aviation community is awaiting further updates as investigations into both incidents continue.
