"We would like to confirm that this incident did not involve Executive Air in any way - ownership, operation or maintenance.
"Our entire fleet and crew are safe and accounted for."
The cause of the accident was yet to be ascertained.
Pictures on social media showed parts of the aircraft strewn around.
