Bahamas Grounds Flamingo Air After Fatal Cessna 402 Crash
The Civil Aviation Authority Bahamas has temporarily suspended Flamingo Air’s operating certificate following a fatal Cessna 402 crash near San Andros on July 10. The twin-engine aircraft went down in heavy brush and caught fire during its approach from Nassau, resulting in the loss of all ten people on board. Bahamian investigators are currently documenting the wreckage and gathering evidence to determine the sequence of events, serving as a sobering reminder for pilots about the critical risks associated with low-altitude emergencies during the approach phase.
