This crash echoes a similar incident earlier in March when a student pilot and instructor lost their lives after their plane collided with a passenger aircraft carrying 44 individuals.
That collision occurred in Nairobi’s airspace, with one of the planes crash-landing in Nairobi National Park.
KCAA confirmed that the passenger plane, headed for Diani in Mombasa, had just taken off when a loud bang was heard.
During its journey to the coastal destination, the passenger aircraft collided with a smaller plane carrying two people.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority released a statement confirming the 10:05 am crash involving a Ninety-Nines Flying School Cessna and a Safarilink Aviation Dash 8 aircraft.
Multiple agencies, including the Air Accident Investigation Department (AAID) and the National Police Service, have launched investigations into the cause of the collision.
