A father-of-two reportedly from Surrey and living in New Zealand was among passengers on board the downed Malaysia Airlines plane, his family has said.
The family of Robert Ayley, 28, said he "touched many lives", as they confirmed the Briton was on board flight MH17.
UK experts are on their way to Ukraine to assist with the inquiry into the crash, which killed 298 people, including 10 Britons, on Thursday.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch is also helping to investigate.
It is believed the aircraft was brought down after being hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from a rebel-held area in east Ukraine.
Among the British passengers believed to have died in the crash were football fans John Alder and Liam Sweeney, World Health Organization press officer Glenn Thomas and student Ben Pocock, who was travelling to Australia as part of his studies.
