The Cessna 208 Caravan, operated by CityLink Aviation, went down approximately 12 miles outside Juba amid poor weather that severely affected visibility. The aircraft, flying from Yei to Juba International Airport, lost communication with air traffic control around 30 minutes into the roughly 80-mile journey. Preliminary investigations indicate that adverse weather conditions played a significant role in the crash.
