Cheltenham mayor Brian Chaplin has offered his sympathies to families
of the victims of the air crash at Sochi in Russia.
Sochi has been one of Cheltenham's twin towns since 1959.
On Wednesday, an Airbus A-320 of the Armenian airline Armavia plunged
into the Black Sea as it tried to land.
The accident claimed the lives of 113 people.
Coun Chaplin said: "It's a concern to anyone with any compassion such
as with any tragedy like this anywhere in the world.
"It hasn't directly affected the people of Sochi but is still
a tragedy."
Trips to Sochi for Cheltenham residents have been organised for June
17 to 27 and the end of September.
