Light aircraft missing in Mozambique


 A search is underway for a small aircraft that is missing Mozambique's remote northwest, with fears growing about the fate of its occupants.

The aircraft -- a Beechcraft 58 -- had two people on board, and was travelling from Malawi en route to Lanseria airport, north of Johannesburg this week.

A spokesperson for the Johannesburg-based Aeronautical Search and Rescue, Jonny Smith, says Mozambique have requested their help in the search, and a joint operation has been set up in Beira.

According to Mozambique Civil Aviation Agency, the plane did not send out a distress signal.

The agency says the aircraft was last heard of on Sunday.
