<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The aircraft crashed into residential homes near Goma’s airport in the North Kivu province.</p>
<p>“The governor of North Kivu is sad to announce the plane crash this morning at Goma International Airport.</p>

<p>The first information in our possession indicates that the plane had 17 passengers on board before failing to take off,” a statement from North Kivu governor Nzanzu Kasivita Carly’s office said.</p>
<p>It did not give a casualty toll.</p>
<p>The aircraft was owned by private carrier Busy Bee and was headed to Beni, 220 miles north of Goma in the same province.</p>

<p>Air accidents are frequent in DR Congo, given poor maintenance and relaxed air safety standards.</p>
