JUBA — South Sudan government has formed a seven-member committee to investigate Tuesday cargo plane crash in Kondokoro Island in Juba.

On Tuesday, a cargo plane belonging to Euro Company crashed shortly after takeoff from Juba international airport killing five crew members on board.

The aircraft AN26- flight TR-NGT–belonging to Euro Airlines – was carrying 28 drums of diesel to Maban County, Upper Nile State.

The deceased were two Russian engineers and two Sudanese pilots – and South Sudan who work as an agent.

Speaking to journalists after the cabinet meeting on Friday in Juba, Information Minister, Michael Makuei Lueth said the committee is comprised of experts from air crash investigators.

“The Minister of Transport, Madut Biar has already formed a committee to investigate into the issue and he has been authorized to follow up with its implementation,” Makuei told reporters after the cabinet meeting in Juba on Friday.

Makuei said the cabinet has directed the Minister of Transport, Madut Biar to screen all airline operators in an effort to alleviate the recurrence of plane crashes in the country.

“At the same time he (Minister of Transport, Madut Biar) should make sure that all the planes that are operational in South Sudan are properly checked,” he said.

“Some of these planes are actually not allowed to fly all over the world except in South Sudan and this is very dangers and the Minister of Transport has been directed to make sure that all the planes that are flying here in South Sudan are secure planes and this is for the safety of everybody,” he added.

The government spokesman passed message condolences to the families of deceased persons on passing away of the beloved one in unfortunate planes crash.
