'Two passenger planes have collided at Milan's Linate airport in Italy, and at least 100 people are feared dead, says a report on the Italian news agency Ansa.
One of the planes belonged to Scandanavian carrier SAS, which was taking off on a flight to Denmark when it hit a smaller Cessna plane on the runway.
An SAS spokeswoman said the aircraft was Flight SK 686 flying from Milan to Copenhagen in Denmark.
A fire official told the AP news agency that more than 100 people had died when the plane burst into flames after crashing into an airport building.
The plane, an MD-87, had an estimated 104 passengers and six crew on board, SAS said.
It had been due to take off at 0735 local time. The incident happened at 0815.
German carrier
The Cessna plane is believed to have belonged to a German carrier.
At least four of dead were from the Cessna, said reports. The others are thought to have been on board the SAS flight.
The airport management company, SEA, told the French news agency AFP that between 20 and 25 people would normally have been working in the maintenance building which was hit by the plane.'
