Tanzania’s president convenes a cabinet meeting to discuss the air crash

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu will convene an emergency cabinet meeting on Monday to discuss the recent plane crash that killed 19 people.

On November 6, a passenger plane crashed into Lake Victoria while attempting to land in the lakeside town of Bukoba.

ATR technical advisers are already on the ground in town to investigate the crash.

French civil aviation safety investigation experts, as well as Tanzanian experts, have been deployed to the area to conduct an independent investigation into the crash.

Precision Air, Tanzania’s largest privately owned passenger airline, flew the plane. It has served the Dar es Salaam-Bukoba route since 1994.
