Two Flamingo Air planes went down on the same day in the Bahamas — one caught fire on the ground, the other crashed short of the runway in Andros, killing all ten aboard. The AAIA's preliminary report, released August 9th, 2026, found no cause yet — but a review of the airline's history turned up fourteen prior safety incidents over two decades. Here's what the official record shows, and what regulators knew before this crash happened.
