What happened
While operating a flight from Nairobi to Mwanza, the pilot reported an engine failure to air traffic control. Following this mechanical issue, the decision was made to abort the mission and attempt a return to Nairobi-Wilson Airport.
Approximately twenty minutes after the departure from the airfield, the aircraft type lost stability and went out of control. The descent ended in a crash within the Ngong Hills region, situated near Ngong. There were eight fatalities resulting from the impact, with no survivors among the occupants.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor in the accident was an engine failure in flight, though the specific underlying reason for the mechanical malfunction remains undetermined.
