The 12-metre Beechcraft King Air B200 plane is confirmed to carry two pilots; the passenger count is unconfirmed.
On July 13, a London to Lelystad (Netherlands) bound plane crashed immediately after takeoff. It was a medical supplies plane that took off at 8:18 pm IST, reached 175 feet, tilted left, inverted mid-air, and nosedived headfirst, crashing on impact.
The Beechcraft King Air B200 plane can carry a maximum of 9 passengers and 1-2 crew.
London Southend Airport was immediately shut down. At least five international flights were cancelled, including EasyJet flights to Malta, Faro, Pisa, and Palma. The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is heading the enquiry, supported by the local Essex Police.
Zeusch Aviation, the Dutch expert in medical evacuation and private charter planes, operated the flight. Zeusch is assisting AAIB with the investigation.
The Aircraft had completed the flight from Athens to Pula, Croatia, and then to London the same day.
