Another failed takeoff in the same area five days ago killed eight foreigners.

Delta Air manager Kagiso Senwedi told The Associated Press that the passengers — a Namibian and four French tourists with a South African pilot — are being transported by boat from Delta Camp in Botswana’s remote north to Maun town.

“They are all a bit shaken, which is understandable, and did not want to fly back,” he said, adding some suffered only minor injuries.

He said the company’s Cessna 206 single-engine turbo-charged aircraft crashed in a failed takeoff from Delta Camp’s dirt airstrip Wednesday morning.

He had no further details: “We’re communicating by radio and should know more later in the day.”

A Cessna 208B operated by Moremi Air crashed shortly after takeoff Friday from Xakanaxa bush airfield and burst into a conflagration that apparently killed the British pilot and seven tourists from France, Switzerland and the UK. Rescuers who arrived quickly at the scene had to ferry buckets of water from a nearby swamp to try to douse the blaze.

Four people survived last week’s crash, including a badly burned Frenchwoman who was medically evacuated for treatment to Johannesburg in neighboring South Africa.

The Ministry of Transport is investigating both crashes.
