Authorities are investigating the wreckage
Two people have been killed after two planes crashed into each other in mid-air above Kenya.
One of the planes, which was carrying 44 people, was flying to the tourist resort of Diani when it crashed above the Nairobi National Park at around 9.45am local time.
The Dash 8, operated by Safarilink Aviation, collided with a single-engine Cessna 172, which was carrying two people taking part in a pilot training lesson.
A police report said the crew of the Dash 8, the passenger plane, heard a loud banging noise shortly after take-off from Wilson Airport.
They decided to turn around but collided with the Cessna 172, which is operated by 99 Flying School.
Local police said all 39 passengers and five crew on the Safarilink plane were evacuated safely.
An investigation into the cause of the crash has been launched by Kenya’s Civil Aviation Authority.
