Five people were injured when a small aircraft crashed at the East London airport this morning.
Two adults were said to be in a critical condition. Three children were also injured.
The aircraft crashed while landing at about 10.30am and the runway had to be closed for safety reasons. A secondary runway had to be opened.
It is believed that the five were a family from Margate in KwaZulu-Natal.
Acsa says the cause of the crash is still being investigated.
