Johannesburg (People's Daily) – Ten people have gone missing in Kenya after a light plane they were traveling in disappeared from radar on Wednesday, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) announced.

The Cessna C208 Fly-SAX airlines plane was en route from western Kenya to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the capital Nairobi with two crew members (both women) and eight passengers on board, said the authority early Wednesday.

The lost plane belongs to a Kenyan company called “Fly-SAX.”

The plane was last seen on radar at 14:02 local time on Friday, about 74 kilometers from Nairobi and about 3,300 meters above sea level.
