Cairo, Aug 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Aug, 2020 ) :A light aircraft crashed on landing at Egypt's Gouna Airport on the Red Sea coast on Thursday killing the two pilots on board, the civil aviation ministry said.
The two-seater private tour plane, registered to Airman Sky sports, was on a test flight when it crashed, civil aviation ministry spokesman Bassem Abdel Karim said.
Egypt's prosecutor general and the civil aviation ministry have both launched investigations to assess the cause of the crash.
