A vintage Swiss military plane, saved by a national fundraising campaign, has crashed into a mountain in the Alps, killing 20 people onboard.
Chief executive of the airline, Kurt Waldmeier says it was the worst day in the 36-year history of JU-Air. We have all suffered a very great loss.
Authorities were informed of the crash 50 minutes after the aircraft had taken off from Locarno’s Magadino airfield with five helicopters were deployed in a search and rescue mission.
