The crash prompted the government to temporarily ground Flamingo Air flights. It happened in North Andros, located in waters just west of Nassau, the archipelago\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the dearly departed are some of the talented and vibrant members of our entertainment community, including members of The Pond Band and a DJ,\u201d the union said in a statement on X. <\/p>\n

\u201c(Their) passion, dedication, and artistry touched so many lives and helped to enrich the cultural fabric of The Bahamas,\u201d the union added.<\/p>\n

The plane had departed Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau and was headed to San Andros when it crashed, according to the Bahamian Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Aviation said in a statement that the suspension of Flamingo Air\u2019s air operator certificate was only a precautionary safety measure as officials investigate the cause of the crash. The ministry said the suspension is a result of two safety incidents that happened Friday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

During the press conference, Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis said the first incident earlier Friday involved a Flamingo Air plane. She said it was en route to Mayaguana when the pilot reported a concern and turned back to Nassau. After the plane landed and the passengers deboarded, the plane caught fire, she said. That incident also is under investigation.<\/p>\n
