Israeli couple found dead after light plane crash in Greece
An Israeli couple was killed on Tuesday in a light aircraft crash in Greece. The Foreign Ministry is arranging for the return of the bodies to Israel. Along with two other people who flew in a different plane, the couple took off in a private plane from the island of Kos and was scheduled to land in Corfu.
Inclement weather forced both planes to make an unscheduled landing on a different island before continuing in the direction of Corfu. Ultimately, just one of the planes made it back to Athens.
The bodies of an Israeli couple were found on Wednesday morning after their light aircraft went down over the sea off the western Greek island of Zakynthos, local authorities reported.
The ministry said two rescue aircraft, a search and rescue boat, two cargo ships and a smaller craft took part in the search, focusing on a spot 25 miles northwest of Zakynthos where the plane was last seen on radar screens.
The bodies and the plane's wreckage were eventually discovered by a rescue helicopter's crew.
