Three Brits killed in UAE plane crash

Four people have been killed after a small plane crashed three miles to the south of Dubai Inter national Airport.

The UAE’S General Civil Aviation Authority said all four people on board, three Britons and one South African, were killed in the crash.

The aircraft belonged to Flight Calibrations Service Ltd of Shoreham, England, which signed a contract with Dubai International Airport last year to do work on beacons surrounding an airport that help pilots know where runways are and how to land.

The crash halted traffic at the world’s busiest airport for international travel for nearly an hour.
