当局表示，两名美国籍飞行员在多米尼加共和国尝试紧急迫降时遭遇坠机起火，双双遇难。
据多米尼加民用航空研究所的一份声明，这起事故于周日发生在南部沿海城镇拉罗马纳附近，该机构确认两名飞行员均为美国公民。目前坠机原因尚未立即查明。机上并无乘客。
MLB全明星前捕手亚迪尔·莫利纳在社交媒体上表示，这架飞机原本计划前往德克萨斯州接他和他的亲友。莫利纳和同行人员当时正前往他的家乡波多黎各。

官员们表示，这架飞机从波多黎各起飞，在前往德克萨斯州之前曾降落在多米尼加共和国加油。
当局称，这架飞机从多米尼加共和国起飞后不久，飞行员和副驾驶就报告了紧急情况。
莫利纳被认为是MLB历史上最优秀的防守型捕手之一。他在2004年至2022年的职业生涯中，随红雀队两次夺得世界大赛冠军。
该机场为旅游城市拉罗马纳提供服务。
旅游业是多米尼加共和国经济的支柱产业。这个加勒比国家拥有1160万人口。
2021年，一架从首都圣多明各的拉斯亚美利卡斯国际机场起飞的私人飞机坠毁，造成9人遇难。

A pilot and co-pilot from the United States have died in a fiery plane crash as they attempted an emergency landing in the Dominican Republic, authorities said.
The incident occurred Sunday near the southern coastal town of La Romana, according to a statement by the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation, which identified the pilot and co-pilot as U.S. citizens. It wasn’t immediately known what caused the crash. No passengers were aboard.
MLB All-Star former catcher Yadier Molina said on social media that the plane was bound for Texas to pick him up, along with family and friends. Molina and his group were headed to his native Puerto Rico.
“My condolences to the pilots and their families,” he wrote in a post on Instagram, accompanied by a video of a plane crash-landinghttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1528080235445073 at the airport and bursting into flames.
Officials said the plane had departed from Puerto Rico and landed in the Dominican Republic to refuel before heading to Texas.
The pilot and co-pilot reported an emergency shortly after taking off from the Dominican Republic, authorities said.
Molina is considered one of the best defensive catchers in MLB history. He won two World Series titles with the Cardinals over his 2004-2022 career.
The airport serves the tourist city of La Romana.
Tourism is key to the economy of the Dominican Republic, a country of 11.6 million people located in the Caribbean.
In 2021, nine people died in a private plane crash after departing from Las Americas International Airport in the capital, Santo Domingo.
