Five dead in light aircraft crash in Malta

Five people have died after a light aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff at Malta International Airport.


An airport source said the five victims were all French, although it is not yet clear if they were members of the military or civilians.

Initial reports had said the plane was deployed by Frontex, the EU's border agency, but a spokesperson has said this is not the case.

The Times of Malta reported the Fairchild Metroliner had been leased from Luxembourg for use by officials from Frontex.

The organisation has also said that none of their staff were involved in the crash.
