Bahamas plane crash kills 10 as authorities suspend local airline
Bahamas plane crash: 10 dead after Cessna 402 went down in North Andros See what investigators found and how the airline response is unfolding
Authorities in the Bahamas said a Cessna 402 crashed in North Andros on Friday after departing Nassau, killing 10 people and leaving one survivor.
The Bahamas Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority said the plane had encountered difficulties before going down in dense brush. Emergency crews, police, and airport officials responded to the scene, while investigators continued working to determine what caused the crash.
In a separate incident the same day, another Flamingo Air flight returned to Nassau after the pilot reported a concern, and the aircraft later caught fire on the runway. Bahamian aviation officials temporarily suspended the airline’s operating certificate as a precaution while safety reviews continue.
