Accident
An aircraft operating a route from Medellín to Quibdó encountered poor weather conditions with limited visibility due to clouds while cruising at an altitude of 12,500 feet. The airplane struck the slope of Mt. San Nicolas (3,800 meters) located southwest of Betania.
Wreckage Recovery
The wreckage was found four days later, on January 25. All 39 occupants were killed, among them civilians.
Probable Cause
Official findings indicate that it is believed the crew lost orientation while cruising in poor weather conditions and failed to realize they were not on the proper track, thus not at the right altitude.
