Amman, July 30 (Petra) – A Royal Jordanian Air Force Black Hawk
helicopter on Thursday carried out a search, rescue, and medical
evacuation mission after a small passenger plane crashed in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The helicopter, assigned to the Jordanian unit Congo/2 serving with
the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (MONUSCO), was dispatched at the request of UN
leadership after local Congolese forces were unable to reach the
remote crash site.
Taking off from Beni-Mavivi Airport, the search and rescue team flew
nearly 200 kilometers to reach the downed aircraft. Rescuers
airlifted the injured pilot and mechanic, along with the co-pilot’s
body, back to Beni-Mavivi Airport for medical treatment and
processing.
MONUSCO leadership praised the Jordanian unit’s high level of
professionalism, rapid response, and operational efficiency during
the operation.
The deployment forms part of the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army’s
broader commitment to international peacekeeping and humanitarian
support operations.
