What happened
During an approach to Puerto Esperenza, an aircraft traveling from Pucallpa encountered intense thunderstorm activity and adverse meteorological conditions. As the flight was descending, the plane experienced a loss of control while navigating through the heavy weather. The aircraft subsequently impacted the ground in a jungle region situated roughly 30 km away from the Puerto Esperenza Airport.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were 29 fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft, with no survivors reported from the crash site.
Findings
Investigations into the accident indicate that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was the presence of severe in-flight turbulence encountered during the descent phase.
