Four Myanmar military personnel were killed and one survived on Wednesday when an airforce utility aircraft crashed after taking off from the airport in the capital Naypyitaw, officials said.

An Information Ministry statement identified the aircraft, which crashed in a rice field about a mile (1.6 kilometres) from the airport, as a Beech 1900, a 19-passenger twin-engine turboprop no longer in production.

The dead included a major, two captains and a corporal, said General Aung Ye Win of the office of the Myanmar army commander.

The sole survivor was another corporal who has been hospitalised.
