He further disclosed that the Bureau would announce recommendations aimed at improving aviation safety and preventing similar incidents in the future.

“And also, we have some recommendations that we will let the public know,” he said.

Wumborti explained that parts of the investigation were delayed due to pending documents, including autopsy reports.

“There were a few things that we needed and that were really delayed. Like the autopsy reports and other things that we are waiting for. We haven’t gotten them, but we have to go ahead,” he noted.

The microlight aircraft, bearing registration number 9G-ADV, was travelling from Ho to Accra on Monday, March 16, 2026 when it crashed near a school park in Tema Community One.

Emergency response teams were subsequently deployed to contain the fire and assist with rescue and recovery operations.

However, the two occupants onboard the aircraft, who were brothers, lost their lives in the crash.
