One plane, believed to have had two people on board, crashed in Staffordshire.
The second aircraft, containing one person, landed safely at East Midlands Airport.
"At this stage we believe that two persons have lost their lives," a police spokesman said.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said the crash happened at around 12.15pm near Admaston, between Uttoxeter and Stafford.
The field, which has a farm nearby, remained sealed off while specialist investigators carried out examinations.
The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is taking the lead in the case.
All incoming flights were diverted from East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire after the incident.
The runway was blocked and full emergency procedures were carried out following the landing by the privately-owned plane.
The airport was later fully reopened.
