The Cessna aircraft was flying to have a regular mechanical service inspection in Slovakia, Pavel Brath, Bratislava region police chief, told the news television channel TA3.
The three dead men were the 53-year-old pilot, a 35-year-old flight engineer and a 19-year-old flight student, Brath said, adding they were all from Croatia.

In Croatia, the transport ministry said the plane crashed about 1 km (0.6 miles) from the airport. The plane was owned by Croatia's retail company Getro. (Reporting by Peter Laca; Zoran Radosavljevic in Zagreb; Editing by Charles Dick)
