A Kenya Airways flight carrying 114 people crashed Saturday near the border between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, an area of heavy forest and swamps.
"It was due to arrive in the morning here in Nairobi at 6:15. Unfortunately the aircraft has not arrived," Titus Naikuni, Kenya Airways CEO, told reporters on Saturday.
The control tower in the city of Douala, Cameroon, where the flight originated, received a distress call just after the midnight take-off, Naikuni said.
That was the last message from the plane, a new Boeing 737-800 that had been in service just six months.
Most of the passengers were West African, along with several Europeans, Indians, and one American. There were no Canadians on the flight, Kenya Airways said.
Weather may have been the cause of the crash. Naikuni said the flight took off an hour late because of heavy rain.
