Aircraft Crash at San Luis Acatlán Aerodrome (XA-DOQ)

Incident Overview and Casualties An aircraft struck an obstacle and crashed during its initial climb shortly after departing from San Luis Acatlán Aerodrome. The accident resulted in the deaths of both pilots and eleven passengers. Additionally, eight other occupants sustained injuries. ## Operational Context and Contributing Factors Earlier that day, the crew encountered cattle on the grassy runway while approaching San Luis Acatlán Airfield. The presence of the animals required time for local residents to clear the runway, which delayed the aircraft's landing. Consequently, when the crew initiated the takeoff run toward Acapulco, it was already dark. The investigation determined that visibility conditions at the time of the takeoff were apparently insufficient.
