The plane crashed a mile from the airport shortly after take-off, the FAA said.
The aircraft was a Bombardier Canadian Regional Jet, which has a good track record, according to its history on the National Transportation Safety Board’s Web site.
Flight 5191 was cleared for takeoff at 6:05 a.m. ET, which was the last communication between the pilot and air traffic controllers, FAA officials said.
The plane crashed at 6:19 a.m. ET, about a mile west of the airport, FAA officials said.
The plane was scheduled to land in Atlanta at 7:18 a.m. ET.
It is unclear what caused the crash. There were no reports of bad weather in the Lexington area.
"It was dark at the time of the accident, but it was clear," Brown said.
A team of National Transportation Safety Board investigators is heading to the crash site to begin an investigation.
