The media is reporting it as a Navajo. They are often wrong so I apologize if the aircraft type isn't correct.

Sadly they are reporting at least one deceased. It seems like it was owned by an Aerial Survey company from Delta, BC.

RCMP now reporting 2 fatalities - 54 and 27: https://rcmp.ca/en/nl/news/2025/07/rcmp ... -deer-lake

On Saturday, July 26, at approximately 5:35 p.m., Deer Lake RCMP responded to reports of a plane crash near the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) near the Deer Lake Airport. The crash prompted the immediate closure of the TCH for several hours to allow emergency personnel — including Deer Lake Airport responders, emergency medical services and Deer Lake Fire Rescue — to respond to the scene.

Two persons were on board the flight: the pilot, a 54-year-old man, and his lone passenger, a 27-year-old man. Both occupants were pronounced deceased at the scene.

Condolences to Kisik, the families of the deceased persons and to the survey family group.

If anyone knows the names - please PM me.

Indian news outlets are reporting the name of the 27 year old, who was an Indian national. Seems like he was a sensor operator, at least on this flight.

I'm not seeing the name of the pilot released yet, but have a bad feeling from another thread on here.
