Small Plane Crashes into Hangar, Killing Two

A small twin-engined Diamond DA42 aircraft crashed into a hangar at Parafield Airport, north of Adelaide, on April 29, 2026. The plane was attempting to land when the accident occurred at 2:10 PM, sparking a fire that has since been extinguished. Tragically, two people lost their lives as a result of the crash, and multiple others sustained injuries.

Premier Peter Malinauskas confirmed he was briefed on the incident and expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased. Emergency services were on-site, and the airport was closed. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has dispatched investigators to the scene to examine the wreckage and gather evidence for their inquiry.
