What happened
During the early stages of flight departing from runway 17 at Santo Domingo-Las Américas Airport, the aircraft experienced a significant deviation from its flight path. While performing an initial climb immediately after liftoff, the plane entered a right bank before impacting a nearby wooded area.
The impact resulted in the destruction of the aircraft. Among the occupants on board, there were 2 fatalities, including one crew member and one passenger. Additionally, the accident left 28 injuries reported among the remaining people on the plane.
Findings
Investigations into the crash indicate that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was the failure of the right engine during the period immediately following takeoff.
