What happened
During a scheduled cargo operation traveling from Beirut to Frankfurt, an aircraft with four engines vanished from radar tracking while operating in suboptimal weather conditions. The flight path took the vessel over the Peloponnese province, specifically near the boundary of the Arcadia and Laconia districts.
The aircraft impacted the side of Mt Parnon during its cruise phase. Following the disappearance, search efforts located the debris field approximately 27 km east of Sparta. The accident resulted in five fatalities, as all members of the crew perished in the impact.
