ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A team of federal safety investigators was headed to Alaska's Kenai Peninsula on Monday to determine why an air taxi plane crashed and burned at an airport in the fishing community of Soldotna, killing all 10 people aboard.

No survivors were found after the single-engine pontoon plane, a de Havilland DHC3 Otter operated by regionally based charter company Rediske Air, crashed at the airport in Soldotna, about 80 miles (130 km) southwest of Anchorage, shortly after 11 a.m. local time on Sunday.
