What happened
Following its departure from Yangon-Mingaladamente Airport, a twin-engine aircraft experienced significant issues maintaining altitude. The plane failed to climb sufficiently after takeoff and subsequently collided with treetops situated approximately 150 meters beyond the runway threshold. Upon impact, the aircraft entered a stall and crashed into a forested region, where it was consumed by fire.
The accident resulted in 48 fatalities, leaving no survivors among the passengers or crew. The wreckage of the aircraft was completely destroyed during the event.
Findings
- The aircraft encountered difficulty gaining altitude immediately after takeoff.
- The collision with vegetation led to a loss of control and subsequent fire.
