Turkey's Transport Minister Binali Yildirim said on Wednesday that none of the 135 passengers or eight crew aboard the crashed Turkish Airlines plane had lost their lives.

"The good news is that there was no loss of life in the accident" at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Yildirm said in televised remarks.

He said that there were injured passengers, but gave no figures.

Earlier, Turkey's CNN-Turk news channel reported that one person had been killed and 20 others injured in the crash.

Yildirim said that about 80 people had been evacuated from the plane.

The Boeing 737 crashed while landing and broke into two or three pieces on impact, according to media reports from the airport.
