What happened
Approximately ten minutes following its departure from Agadir-Al Massira Airport, the aircraft was performing a climb to an altitude of 16,000 feet. During this ascent, the aircraft's nose pitched downward, initiating a high-speed descent. The flight path led to a collision with the rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountain Range, specifically near the area of Ameskroud, located roughly 24 km northeast of the Agadir departure point.
Upon striking the mountainside, the aircraft suffered a complete disintegration. The impact resulted in 44 fatalities, with no survivors reported among the occupants. During the post-accident investigation, debris was recovered from the site, including a section of the left wing that was located approximately 5 km away from the primary wreckage site.
Findings
No specific technical cause for the sudden change in pitch or the subsequent descent was detailed in the provided report, though the rapid descent and subsequent impact with terrain were the primary events leading to the destruction of the aircraft.
