Incident Overview
While approaching La Macarena Airport, the flight crew encountered deteriorating weather conditions. Rain and fog reduced visibility significantly, preventing the crew from establishing visual contact with the airport. The crew initiated a go-around procedure to abort the first landing attempt.
Landing Attempts
Minutes later, a second attempt to land was also abandoned due to continued poor visibility. During a third landing attempt, the crew failed to monitor the aircraft's altitude adequately. The aircraft collided with a hill located approximately 8 kilometers from the airport. The impact caused the aircraft to come to rest in an inverted position.
Aftermath
Following the crash, one passenger sustained serious injuries, while 21 other occupants were killed. Several days later, the only survivor of the accident succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash.
