DUBAI – Officials said that A UPS cargo plane has crashed outside of Dubai shortly after takeoff on Friday.   There were two crew members on board.

The accident occurred near a busy highway intersection about 10 miles southeast of Dubai’s international airport, inside an Emirati air base;  an unpopulated desert area, suggesting there may not have been casualties on the ground, according to state news agency WAM.

UPS spokeswoman Kristen Petrella said the Boeing 747-400 went down at about 8 p.m. in Dubai (12 p.m. EST). Flight 6 was en route to the UPS hub in Cologne, Germany, she said. Petrella said the plane had two crew members but the company has not confirmed any casualties.

A UPS 747-400 cargo plane, similar to this one, crashed outside Dubai, no fatalities reported.

“This incident is very unfortunate and we will do everything we can to find the cause.  Our thoughts go out to the crew members involved in the incident and their families.” UPS’ airline and international operations manager Bob Lekites said in a statement.

This is not the first plane crash to occur in that region.  A Sudanese Boeing 707 cargo plane went down in October 2009 in the desert outside Dubai, killing six crew members.

Emirati regulators have banned the plane’s Sudanese owner, Azza Transport, from operating in the country.
