What happened
During an approach to Mazatlán-General Rafael Buellar Airport, the flight crew initiated their descent following a routine departure from Denver-Stapleton Airport. As the aircraft was on short final approach, it made contact with the ground before reaching the runway.
The impact caused the loss of the aircraft's undercarriage. The plane eventually came to a stop approximately 1,500 meters before the runway threshold. Despite the significant damage to the airframe, all 123 occupants were successfully evacuated from the wreckage without injury.
Findings
The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss. The primary factor in the accident was the impact with the ground during the final approach phase.
