   The twin-engine Antonov-AN28 was operated by a Surinamese carrier, Blue Wing   
   Airlines.   
   Blue Wing Airlines was blacklisted in the EU in 2007. But not anymore.   
   According to the Surinam newspapers all 20 passengers died.   
   One of the pilots was Jauw Verkuil, the wife of the owner of the airline.   
   When attempting to land, the pilots spotted another airplane on the runway.   
   They pulled up and crashed into higher terrain.   
   The pilot of the plane on the runway was the brother of Jauw Verkuil, who   
   watched his sisters plane crash.
