Elmina tragedy final report to come before first anniversary of crash

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 14 — The final report on the crash of the Beechcraft Premier 1 aircraft in Elmina, Shah Alam, on August 17 last year will be released in a few days, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.

“The report will be issued in the next couple of days, before the one-year anniversary,” he said when asked about the progress of the report here today.

He said this at a press conference on a railway industry empowerment initiative, also attended by Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli.

On September 15 last year, it was reported the final report of the crash would be finished this month.

It is in line with Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Convention, which provides a period of 12 months from the accident to complete the final report.

On August 17, a Beechcraft Model 390 Premier 1 plane, which took off from Langkawi International Airport, crashed on its way to Subang Airport.

The tragedy claimed 10 lives, including all eight people on board and two road users.
