Three people were killed when a private helicopter crashed metres from its landing zone on Greece’s Sifnos island on Monday evening, authorities said.

Market Impact

The Bell 206 aircraft, carrying newlyweds Alexander Cromie and Marie Ebert from Britain plus a Greek pilot, came down shortly before a scheduled 6.15pm local landing, according to a senior police officer cited by local media.

Police identified the victims as Cromie, Ebert and the unnamed pilot. Blackstone, where Cromie worked, called the deaths a “great loss.” Bain & Company, where Ebert was a senior consultant, said it was “shocked” by the accident involving one of its staff and her husband.

Greek aviation safety authorities said investigators were at the crash site collecting evidence and witness statements. A foreign ministry spokesman said Britain’s consular team was assisting the families and liaising with Greek authorities, offering condolences “at this difficult time.”

Deputy mayor Manolis Foundoulakis said the wreckage was almost completely destroyed. Deputy mayor Yiannis Rafeletos told local outlets that residents heard an abnormal engine noise as the helicopter approached and described the scene as “joy turning to sorrow in an instant.” Firefighters extinguished a post-impact blaze the same night.

The flight originated from Markopoulo near Athens en route to Sifnos, a popular tourist destination. Authorities did not state a probable cause for the crash.
