Namibia's Ministry of Transport has confirmed that two aircrafts including a
Boeing 737 were involved in a mid-air collision near Windhoek on December 26.


L. Makanza, Namibia's acting director of civil aviation, says the Cessna
managed to limp back to Eros Airport while the TAAG Angolan Boeing completed
its flight to Lubango.

Makanza says an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the
collision. Aviation sources say radar and safety equipment at Windhoek
Airport is old and outdated. Nobody was injured.

Five years ago a German passenger liner collided with a US airforce plane off
the Namibian coast, killing all those on board.
