Two people have been killed in a mid-air crash involving a training aircraft and a passenger plane in Kenya, police say.
The aircraft collided above Nairobi National Park in the capital, sending the smaller plane crashing down.
The bigger plane, a Dash 8 operated by Safarilink Aviation, had 44 people on board, including five crew.
It was heading to the coastal tourist resort town of Diani when crew reported a loud bang soon after take-off from Wilson Airport and decided to turn back, the airline reported.
“The relevant agencies have been notified and together with Safarilink Aviation are investigating,” it said.
99 Flying School confirmed “an incident this morning” in a phone call with AFP but declined to give more information.
The training school caters for “private, commercial and airline sectors”, according to its website.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority says investigations had started to establish the cause of the accident.
