A small aircraft has crashed and burst into flames at an airport in Alaska, killing all 10 people on board.

The accident is believed to have happened as the plane took off from Soldotna airport, around 60 miles from Anchorage.

An Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman said the aircraft was engulfed in flames before firefighters were able to get to the crash site.

Clint Johnson, an investigator with the US National Transportation Safety Board, said nine passengers and the pilot were killed.

The victims have not yet been identified.

Flying across the vast northern state is common for Alaska residents, despite hazards including treacherous mountain passes and volatile weather.

I’ve been reading about the Soldotna crash....a lot of people who work for the company I work for live there. Praying that none are involved. I wouldn’t expect a release of names til at least tomorrow.
