Apparently the plane that crashed yesterday at around 4 PM (flight Livingstone - Mfuwe) was leased from Travel Africa by Airwaves Airlink. The pilot was Canadian.

Zambia Information Service (ZIS) investigations revealed the plane had an oil leak before take-off and the pilot communicated to Livingstone airport that there was a fault with the plane.

“The pilot informed the tower that the plane was losing oil at a fast rate and turned back to land but the plane burst into flames before reaching the airport” sources said.
