What happened
A scheduled flight operated from Bella Coolancy toward Campbell River failed to reach its intended destination. The twin engine aircraft departed Bella Coola as planned, but contact was lost during the transit. Following the failure of the aircraft to arrive, search and rescue teams were deployed to locate the missing vessel and its occupants.
Despite several days of active-duty operations, the search efforts were eventually terminated because no evidence of the flight path or debris could be identified. While the exact location of the impact remains unknown, investigators believe the accident likely occurred within the vicinity of Mount Waddington, a peak reaching an elevation of 4,016 meters.
Findings
- The aircraft and its four occupants remain missing.
- No wreckage from the flight has been recovered or localized by search teams.
- The disappearance occurred during the en route phase of the scheduled service.
