YANGON, July 2 (Reuters) - A Myanmar Airways turboprop on a domestic
chartered cargo flight crashed a few minutes before landing in western
Myanmar on Friday and all eight people aboard were feared dead, industry
sources said.
The sources, who work in the air cargo industry and did not want to be
identified, said the Fokker aircraft crashed about five minutes before it
was due to land at Sittwe, about 560 km (350 miles) northwest of Yangon.
Airline and government officials declined to comment.
