What happened
During the final approach to runway 35 at Turol International Airport (Tuxtla Gutiérrez), the flight crew initiated a go-around procedure. At the time of the maneuver, the aircraft was fully configured for landing. While attempting to execute a left turn to complete a 180-degree circuit, the aircraft experienced a loss of altitude.
The descent caused the plane to impact a line of trees approximately 3,200 meters before reaching the runway threshold. The impact resulted in a post-crash fire. The accident resulted in 24 fatalities (comprising the four crew members and 20 passengers) and left 16 injuries among the other occupants on board.
Findings
While the specific reasons for the decision to abort the landing remain unconfirmed, the aircraft's descent and subsequent impact with vegetation occurred during the execution of a missed approach maneuver.
