Cape Town - The plane that crashed in Wonderboom on Tuesday is not operated nor owned by Martinair or Air France.

This is according to AirFrance-KLM, who added that the aircraft was painted in Martin’s Air Charter retro livery but is in fact a Convair aircraft.

"The Convair aircraft was destined for the Dutch aircraft museum Aviodrome at Lelystad Airport in The Netherlands. Martinair and Air France - KLM wishes to send its sympathy to the passengers and crew and all others involved in this accident," AirFrance-KLM said in a statement.

One person was killed and about 20 people injured after the plane crashed at the Wonderboom airport, paramedics confirmed on Tuesday.

The Convair plane - built in 1954 - was due to soon be flown to the museum after reportedly being renovated at the small airport.
