What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from León-Guanajuato-Del Bajio Airport, the aircraft experienced significant issues maintaining altitude. The plane subsequently collided with trees and impacted a forested region, where it caught fire.
The accident resulted in eighteen fatalities among the passengers and crew. While those eighteen individuals perished, the remaining occupants of the aircraft survived the impact, though they sustained various injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was a mechanical failure involving one engine occurring right after rotation. This loss of power led to an aerodynamic stall, preventing the aircraft from climbing and causing it to descend into the trees.
