DHAKA: A Mozambique Airlines (LAM) plane with 28 passengers and 6 crew on board has gone missing on a flight to Angola, say airline officials.

Flight TM470 left Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, at 11:26 local time (09:26 GMT) and was due to arrive in the Angolan capital, Luanda, at 14:10.

The last contact made with the plane was when it was over northern Namibia.

The airline said there were signs it might have landed near Rundo, northern Namibia, bordering Angola and Botswana.

‘LAM airlines, aeronautical and airport authorities are trying to establish contact to confirm the information,’ said the airline.

Spokesman Norberto Mucopa told media he could not confirm the nationalities of those on board.
