At least two individuals tragically lost their lives in a devastating air collision that shook Nairobi National Park on Tuesday morning. The incident, which unfolded amidst the tranquillity of the park, left 44 others unscathed, escaping what could have been a catastrophic outcome.

Two planes collide at Nairobi National Park

The collision involved two aircraft: a Dash 8 bearing registration number 5YSLK, operated by Safari Link, en route to Diani with a complement of 44 passengers and crew, and a Cessna plane. The Cessna, registered as 5YNNJ, was engaged in a training session at the time of the accident, with two individuals on board, according to authorities.

Reports indicate that the Cessna plummeted to the ground within Nairobi National Park, while the Dash 8, miraculously, managed to return to Wilson Airport safely. Both aircraft had taken off from Wilson Airport earlier in the day, officials confirmed.

Tragically, two fatalities were recorded in the aftermath of the collision, underscoring the severity of the incident. Safarilink Aviation, however, asserted that none of its passengers sustained injuries. In a statement, the aviation company detailed the harrowing experience, citing a loud bang shortly after takeoff, prompting the flight crew to make a swift decision to return to Wilson Airport for inspection. Their vigilance ensured the safe landing of all passengers and crew.

As investigations into the collision unfold, authorities and Safarilink Aviation have pledged to collaborate closely to ascertain the root cause of the accident. This incident marks the latest in a series of aviation mishaps involving planes originating from Wilson Airport, a facility primarily utilized for training purposes.

Finally, as the aviation community grapples with the aftermath of this tragic event, questions arise regarding safety protocols and training standards, emphasizing the paramount importance of stringent regulations and comprehensive oversight within the aviation industry.
