Missing Mozambican plane found
The wreckage of a LAM plane which went missing after it took off from Maputo has been found in a remote part of Namibia.
The Mozambican Airlines’ plane had 33 people on board including crew – none of which survived.
The aircraft, en route from Mozambique to Angola, went down in deserted terrain in the Bwabwata National Park, where Namibia turns into a narrow strip of land sandwiched between Botswana and Angola.
Mozambican authorities confirmed the plane was a Brazil-manufactured Embraer 190 aircraft and said it was the newest plane in the LAM fleet. It was two-thirds empty.
Mozambique said it would set up a commission of enquiry to work with Namibian authorities over Friday’s crash.
The European Union banned LAM and all air carriers certified in Mozambique from flying in its airspace in 2011, citing "significant safety deficiencies".
