ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- A Cypriot plane carrying 121 people crashed north of Athens on Sunday, Greek officials said.
Helios Airlines Flight 522 with 115 passengers and six crew crashed en route from Larnaca, Cyprus to Athens, officials said.
Lefterios Ikonomou, a senior public order ministry official, told CNN the site of the crash was in Varnava, near the historic town of Marathon, about 50 km north of Athens.
Authorities sent two Greek F-16 jets to escort the plane after the control tower at Athens international airport lost contact with the pilots, state media reported.
One of the F-16 pilots reported he could not see the captain in the cockpit and that the co-pilot appeared to be slumped in his seat, a Greek Defense Ministry official told Reuters.
