The crash happened around 13:00 local time (19:00 BST) in the Pueblo Viejo region after the plane departed from an airport in Pisco, Peru. The statement said the plane belonged to local Peruvian airline Aerodiana. This isn't the first plane to crash over the famed site in the past few decades. In 2022, another small tourist plane crashed during a flight over the Nazca Lines site, killing seven on board. And in 2010, a tourist plane went down over the site, killing six people on board.
