However, Iron Maiden's specially outfitted private aircraft nicknamed "Ed Force One" was badly damaged as it was preparing to be refueled in Chile and will be grounded until it is repaired.
"Although this is tragic for our beautiful plane we do not expect this to affect our concert schedule," according to a band news release.
The veteran metal band is on the South American leg of its world tour.
The plane is a converted Boeing 747 with a custom paint job. It is named in honor of the band's zombie mascot, Eddie, whose face is emblazoned on the jet's tail.
Two members of the ground crew were injured in the accident. They are expected to recover.
