What happened
A charter flight traveling from Göteborg to Gävle experienced a critical emergency while approaching Gävle Airport. The aircraft, a twin engine airplane, was transporting the pilot and seven members of the Västra Frölundas Hockey Team. During the final approach phase, the aircraft suffered a simultaneous failure of both engines.
In response to the loss of power, the pilot attempted an emergency landing. During this maneuver, the plane made contact with treetops before coming to rest in a forested area situated a short distance from the airport. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. All eight occupants sustained injuries during the crash but were successfully rescued by emergency responders approximately two hours after the incident.
Findings
Official investigations into the accident concluded that the specific reason for the dual engine failure could not be identified.
