An air ambulance crash in Jharkhand’s Chatra district has killed all seven people on board on Monday night, with the aircraft initially headed for Delhi from Ranchi.
India's aviation regulator had said late on Monday that a Beechcraft air ambulance crashed in the eastern state of Jharkhand with seven people on board, including two crew members.
The Beechcraft C90 plane, operated by Redbird Airways, took off from Ranchi in Jharkhand at 19:11 pm (1341 GMT) before requesting for deviation due to weather and subsequently losing communication and RADAR contact, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said in a statement.
A search and rescue team is at the location, and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is being dispatched for investigation, the DGCA said.
