A 2006-build Dassault Falcon 50EX private jet (F-GLSA / msn 348) crashed during the evening of Monday 20 October, killing all four people on board.

The aircraft was attempting to take-off at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport, when it struck a snow plough on the runway.

According to a BBC article, Russian investigators are saying the driver of the snow plough had been drinking alcohol prior to the accident.

The aircraft was managed by French charter company UniJet, who were purchased by Luxaviation earlier in the year.
