What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Rurrenabaque Airport, a four-engine aircraft experienced a critical loss of performance. While ascending, the aircraft entered a stall and subsequently impacted a densely wooded region.
There were five fatalities recorded in the accident, as all occupants on board the aircraft perished during the impact. No injuries were reported among survivors because there were none.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary factor was a simultaneous failure or loss of power in two engines during the climb. This sudden reduction in thrust led to the aerodynamic stall and the subsequent descent into the trees.
