What happened
On August 30, 2008, at approximately 21:02 local time, a Boeing 737-200, registration YV102T, crashed into high terrain while approaching Latacunga, Ecuador. The aircraft had departed from Maiquetia airport in Caracas, Venezuela, on a ferry flight for maintenance purposes prior to being transferred to a new owner.
During the approach, the crew reported being on the ILS approach at 13,000 feet. Following this communication, the aircraft failed to respond to further air traffic control transmissions. The wreckage was subsequently located on the Illinzia volcano at an elevation of 12,000 feet, approximately 15 nautical miles northwest of Latacunga. The accident resulted in 3 fatal injuries, involving the two pilots and one crew chief.
