The search for the wreckage of the plane that crashed off the coast of Jamaica yesterday will resume today.

CEO and managing partner of Buckingham Properties, Larry Glazer, along with his wife Jane Glazer are believed to have perished in a plane which crashed 14 miles north-east off the coast of Port Antonio, Portland.

The Jewish couple was flying in a Socata TBM-700, a high performance single-engine turboprop plane designed to seat six to seven passengers.

The aircraft left Rochester, New York, at 8:45 a.m. yesterday and was scheduled to land in Naples, Florida. However, it veered off course before crashing off the coast of Jamaica.

The plane, identified by its tail number N900KN, was built, manufactured and purchased in 2014. Federal Aviation Authority records show that plane model retails for US$3.5million.

Numerous followers of the Buckingham Properties Facebook page expressed their thoughts and condolences to the family of the Glazers following the crash.

One follower wrote, “Prayers to the Glazer family from a stranger in Oklahoma”, while another user commented, “praying for you all.”

According to information on the page, Buckingham Properties has more than 60 properties totaling over 10.5 million square feet in the United States.

Glazer, who is the president of the TBM Owners and Pilot Association, has a master’s degree in finance from Columbia University.
