What happened
On a night cargo flight departing from Bergamo-Orio al Serio Airport, a twin engine aircraft was en route to Zagreb. The flight was transporting 1,600 kilograms of small parcels along with a crew of two pilots and one passenger. Shortly after departing from runway 28, the aircraft began its ascent through heavy fog.
During the climb phase, the aircraft initiated a left-hand turn and subsequently lost altitude. During this descent, the plane struck a powerline before crashing into an open field situated approximately one kilometer north of the airport. The force of the impact caused the aircraft to disintegrate. There were three fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft.
