What happened
A charter flight departing from Medellín-Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport crashed during the initial climb phase of its journey to Juradó. The single-engine aircraft was transporting two crew members and nine passengers at the time of the accident.
During the ascent, the flight crew experienced significant issues maintaining necessary altitude. In an effort to manage the situation, the crew attempted an emergency descent or landing procedure. However, the aircraft struck a hill and subsequently collided with trees. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. The accident resulted in four fatalities, including the copilot and three passengers, while seven others sustained injuries, some of which were categorized as serious.
Findings
The primary factor in the accident was the aircraft's inability to maintain sufficient altitude following takeoff, which led to the subsequent impact with terrain.
