A devastating plane crash in Kenya has claimed the lives of 11 individuals, including a prominent Hungarian boxing club leader and his family. The incident occurred on Tuesday when a Cessna Caravan aircraft, operated by Mombasa Air Safari, crashed in a hilly, forested area of Kwale County shortly after takeoff from Diani. Among the victims were eight Hungarians, two Germans, and the Kenyan pilot. Gyula Süllős, a long-time supporter and president of the Vasas SC boxing program, was identified as one of the deceased. The Hungarian Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, confirmed that two families, including children, were among the victims. Kenya’s aviation department secretary, Terry Mbaika, stated that some bodies remain unrecovered due to challenging terrain and heavy rains. The investigation, expected to take 30 days, aims to ensure transparency. This tragedy highlights concerns about Kenya’s aviation safety, as recent audits indicate its accident investigation performance falls below global standards.
