One pilot was killed in a helicopter crash off the coast of the UAE, the country’s aviation regulator has said, noting that rescue crews were in the area to search for a second operator after finding debris from the aircraft.
The crash took place late Thursday night in waters near the coastal town of Umm Al Quwain, just north of Dubai, not long after a Bell 212 helicopter took off from the city’s Al Maktoum International Airport, according to the General Aviation Authority.
“The search and rescue teams have recovered the wreckage,” officials said on Friday, adding that rescue workers were scouring the crash site and that “the search is still underway for the other missing pilot.”
