What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Cali-Palmaseca Airport, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving one of its engines. In response to the loss of power, the crew initiated emergency procedures to manage the situation.
To mitigate further risk, the crew successfully performed an emergency landing in the vicinity of the airport. Although the impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, all 22 occupants were able to evacuate the plane without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the incident identified that the primary factor was an engine failure occurring during the takeoff sequence. The specific underlying reason for the loss of power has not yet been determined.
