What happened
On a flight originating from the mainland, the crew of a twin engine aircraft established communication with air traffic control at 23:24 local time while preparing for arrival at San Andrés-Sesquicentenario Airport. During the descent phase, the aircraft was operating at night amidst unfavorable weather conditions.
Shortly after the initial contact, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent. The plane crashed into the ocean a few kilometers away from the coast. Following the accident, search and rescue operations were launched to locate the wreckage and the occupants. However, after one week of searching, the operations were terminated because no evidence of the aircraft or the nine fatalities could be located.
Findings
Investigation details regarding the specific mechanics of the crash were not provided, though the descent occurred during poor weather conditions and nighttime operations.
