Juba air space reopen after mid-morning plane crush

A cargo plane has reportedly crashed at Juba International Airport after failing to take off on Friday morning.

All the three crew members are safe, according to the Director of Juab International Airport, Kur Kuol who confirmed the incident to the Eye Radio.

The Folker 27-60 plane was en-route to one of the Counties of Upper Nile State, carrying unspecified assorted logistic supplies.

This marks the latest plane crash in South Sudan this year following a passenger plane destined to Juba from Uror County Jonglei State State crash-landed in Bor in February this year.
