The aircraft carried the five tourists, and a Peruvian pilot and co-pilot.
A light plane carrying sightseers for a tour of the Nazca lines in the Peruvian desert crashed Friday, February 4, 2022, killing all seven people aboard, including three Dutch and two Chilean tourists, authorities said.
Brigadier Juan Tirado, a firefighter with the 82nd Fire Company in Nazca, said the plane went down near an airfield in the city. The Nazca lines themselves were not damaged.
“There are no survivors,” said Tirado.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
