London Southend Airport said on Wednesday that it has partially reopened on Wednesday after flights to and from the airport had been suspended following a plane crash that killed four foreign nationals.

All four people aboard a small plane that crashed shortly after taking off from London Southend Airport are dead, police said Monday.

London Southend Airport will remain closed until further notice after a plane crashed in what witnesses described as a "fireball". Essex Police said it was alerted to a 12-metre plane on fire at the site in Southend-on-Sea shortly before 16:00 BST on Sunday.
