What happened
During a positioning flight traveling from Cozumel toward Playa del Carmen, the aircraft experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines. This loss of power caused the plane to lose altitude rapidly. In an attempt to manage the descent, the crew performed a ditching maneuver in the waters off the coast of Playa del Carmen.
Following the impact with the water, the aircraft sank and was subsequently lost. The Mexican coast guard responded to the incident and successfully rescued all personnel on board. There were four injuries reported among the crew members during the accident.
Findings
- The aircraft suffered a total loss of power due to the failure of both engines during the flight.
