]]> What: Moremi Air Cessna 208B Grand Caravan en route from Xakanaka Airstrip to Pom Pom Camp Airstrip
Where: Xaxanaka (Botswana)
When: OCT 14 2011
Who: 12 aboard, 8 fatalities
Why: A Moremi Air Cessna crashed in Botswana in the Okavango Delta soon after takeoff. Fatalities include the pilot and seven tourists. Four Swedes, two Brits, and two French were burned beyond recognition. One of the twelve people aboard actually jumped out of the plane while it was in the air, to avoid the fire, and that individual died at Maun Airport.

The four who survived include two Botswanan officials of the Department of Road Transport and Safety, and a french couple treated at Delta Private Hospital in Maun. The husband had burns, the wife was unhurt. One of the vehicle examiners, Bernard Lottering, kicked out a window when the plane landed, then facilitated his colleague’s exit.

The crash is under investigation.

Moremi Air Charters has grounded their fleet.
