A team of technical advisers from the Franco-Italian aircraft manufacture, ATR, is on its way to Tanzania to investigate why one of its plane crashed into Lake Victoria as it attempted to land in the lakeside town of Bukoba on Sunday, the Reuters news agency reports.
The passenger plane operated by Precision Air had 43 people on board – at least 19 died in the crash.
Tanzanian authorities said investigations were under way and the findings would be made public.
Transport Minister, Makame Mbarawa told mourners on Monday that the weather had abruptly changed as the plane approached the airport.
The plane had departed the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam.
