On 4 November 2015, an Antonov An-12 cargo aircraft crashed near the White Nile shortly after takeoff from Juba International Airport serving Juba, the capital city of South Sudan.[1][2] At least 37 people were killed, including the crew of six.[3] The crash is the deadliest aviation accident to have occurred in South Sudan since independence in 2011.
Accident

Authorities in South Sudan reported that the aircraft was overloaded, with most of the passengers being oil workers.[5] The government spokesman of South Sudan said that there were at least 18 people on board.[6] Early reports of the number killed varied, but the total now stands at 37, according to South Sudan's Minister of Transportation, Kuong Danhier Gatluak.[3][7] The crew of the plane comprised five Armenians and one Russian.[8] There were initially three survivors, passenger Wuor Arop and an unrelated 13-month-old baby girl whom he had cradled, together with a third, reported to be a crew member, who later died in hospital.[2][7] It is common for the security services to place family members on cargo planes to Paloich even if they are not on the manifest, according to Kenyi Galla, assistant operations manager for Combined Air Services, a company that operates chartered flights across South Sudan.[9][6]
