ROSEAU, Dominica – A plane with four people on board is reported to have crashed in the vicinity of the Douglas Charles Airport, north of here, on Thursday, police have confirmed.

The police said that the plane, believed to be a Cessna, was on its way from Martinique to Guadeloupe, when the incident occurred.

The police said that a search party has been sent out to the area and more information would be provided later.

Two weeks ago, a Sky High Aviation Services Jetstream 41 aircraft crash landed at the Airport.

The Dominican Republic-based aircraft had 32 people on board including three crew members. There were no fatalities.

The authorities said that the aircraft, with registration marks, HL1038, had touchdown about 135 feet from the threshold markings and the left landing gear collapsed soon after landing. (CMC)
