Last I heard was on the 14th was that the crew were still under arrest but under guard at an MSF camp. The 14th was the 12th day of incarceration. Rebels want $1m ransom for the crew and owners informed that they will NOT get the aircraft back.

They were returning from an MSF contract and were looking at the strip to consider landing with a load later. After three passes they landed for some reason.

Any updates on this?
