What happened
During the takeoff phase from Brindisi Airport, an aircraft entered a descent into the sea just a short distance from the coastline. The incident occurred while the plane was attempting to climb following departure. Following the impact, search and rescue operations were initiated to locate any survivors or debris.
Despite active efforts by rescue teams, the mission was officially terminated three days after the event because no evidence of the crew or the wreckage could be identified. Later investigations led to the discovery of the aircraft's remains at a depth of 18 meters, situated approximately 1.8 km away from the shore.
Findings
No specific details regarding the cause of the crash were provided in the initial reports, though the impact with the sea during the climb phase was the primary event recorded.
