The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
A tourist plane crashed in southern Peru on Saturday, killing all 13 people on board, according to the country's state broadcaster and local officials. The aircraft, operated by the Peruvian airline Ariodiana, was carrying 11 passengers and two pilots when it came down while flying over the Nazca Lines archaeological site. The crash occurred one day after flights over the Nazca Lines were suspended due to winds exceeding 40 kilometres per hour that reduced visibility, forcing two other tourist planes to divert to alternative airports, according to local media. The plane had departed from the airport in Pisco. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. A statement by Nazca's provincial leadership confirmed the plane belonged to Ariodiana. The incident adds to a history of aviation accidents in the region, where tourist flights over the famous Nazca Lines are a popular attraction.
