LILONGWE, Malawi: A military aircraft carrying Malawi’s vice president Saulos Chilima
has been reported missing after it failed to make a landing Monday morning, the government said.
“All efforts by aviation authorities to make contact
with the aircraft since it went off the radar have failed thus
far,” the government said in a statement.
The plane, which took off just after 9:00 am (0700 GMT),
was carrying 51-year-old Chilima and nine others.
The group was travelling from the capital Lilongwe
over 370 kilometres (230 miles) to the city of Mzuzu for
the funeral of a former cabinet minister.
President Lazarus Chakwera has ordered regional and
national forces to conduct an “immediate search and rescue operation to locate the
whereabouts of the aircraft,” the statement said. —AFP
