A private US-registered business jet crashed and exploded into a massive fireball at La Romana International Airport on Sunday, killing both crew members on board.

The Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) confirmed that the pilot and co-pilot were the sole occupants of the aircraft. No passengers were on board at the time of the disaster.

The aircraft, a Gulfstream G200 twin-engine business jet carrying the US registration N318JF, had originally taken off from La Romana, a popular tourist city located about 130 kilometres east of the capital, Santo Domingo, and was bound for Austin, Texas.
