The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 jet was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames on Friday afternoon.
An airport spokesman said: “Blackbushe Airport confirmed that a Phenom 300 jet with four persons on board crashed near the end of the runway around 3.09pm while attempting to make a landing.
Saudi ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud said in a statement: “His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud . . . has paid his condolences to the family and relatives of Mohammed bin Laden at Blackbushe Airport in Britain for the great loss they have suffered as a result of the crash of the plane that was carrying the family.”
