Fourteen people have been reported missing after a light aircraft registered in Tanzania and owned by a firm based in Zanzibar crashed off the Comoros Saturday.

Tanzania’s local media reported Monday that the 14 people went missing after a Cessna Caravan crashed into the Indian Ocean while it was flying in the Islands nation.

Mohammed Mazrui, whose firm — Fly Zanzibar Limited — owns the fateful aircraft, said the aircraft was leased to a Comorian carrier and was flying from the capital of Moroni to the city of Fomboni when the accident occurred.

The aircraft had 12 passengers and two crew on board, with the Comorian government saying all the passengers were Comorian and the two pilots were Tanzanian.

The plane disappeared from radar about 2.5 km from its destination, with the cause of the accident still unknown, said Mazrui.
