Safety history

  • June 19, 1938Accident

    The crew departed Santiago on a cargo flight to Arica. While cruising over the Andes Mountains, the aircraft disappeared. As it failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended after few days as no trace of the aircraft nor the four crew was found. Walkers found the wreckage in February 1941 on the slope of Mt Mercedario, in the west part of the Argentinian Andes. Probable cause (official findings): Controlled flight into terrain.
