What happened
An unidentified aircraft crashed in the vicinity of Champerico, Guatemala, resulting in the total destruction of the plane due to impact forces and a subsequent fire. The flight was operating without authorization, according to reports from Guatemalan authorities. While the flight plan indicated the aircraft was scheduled to travel from Zihuatanejo to Chetumal with a total of three people on board—consisting of two crew members and one passenger—the actual flight was found to be illegal.
At the time of the accident, the aircraft was carrying a crew of two. The exact circumstances surrounding the descent and impact remain unconfirmed, though the wreckage was completely consumed by fire following the crash.
Findings
Local authorities stated that the flight was an unauthorized operation. There were further reports from Guatemalan officials suggesting that the aircraft may have been involved in the transport of cocaine at the time of the incident.
