A helicopter that crashed into the sea off the coast of northern Evia, Greece, had two people on board, according to the state-run Athens Macedonian News Agency.
The privately chartered Agusta A109 helicopter was flying over Achladi beach during a storm when it disappeared from radar and was seen descending into the water by witnesses. It had initially departed from Afidnes, north of Athens, for a flight to Volos but had to make a brief landing in Mantoudi in Evia due to weather conditions before continuing its journey.
A search and rescue operation is underway, hampered by strong winds and challenging access to the crash site.
