Authorities have withdrawn their approval for a flight from Juba to Pochalla County over lack of proper security clearance this morning, according to a security source.

The aircraft operated by Dream Air, a local aviation company carrying 9 passengers on board, was informed by the security agents not to fly to Pochalla County in Boma State.

Pochalla Commissioner Jay Adingora Alual told Radio Tamazuj that the flight was expected to take development to the hard-to-reach area of Pochalla.

“The Dream Airline was told by security organs that there was a problem in Pochalla because of what soldiers did last time when they detained an aircraft belonging to UNHAS,” said Alual.
