What happened
Shortly after departing from the Medellín-Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport, an aircraft experienced significant technical difficulties involving its engine. Approximately six minutes into the flight, the pilot was unable to maintain control of the plane following these mechanical issues.
The aircraft subsequently crashed in the Montegrande area, situated roughly 30 kilometers north of Medellín. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. Among the occupants on board, there were three fatalities and six injuries reported.
Findings
Official investigations into the accident concluded that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was an engine failure during the initial climb phase.
