While approaching Athens-Hassani Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the aircraft entered cumulonimbus. In thunderstorm activity with turbulences, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed on the slope of Mt Parnitha (1,413 meters high) located about 30 km north of Hassani Airport. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all 22 occupants were killed. Probable cause (official findings): The loss of control was caused by the failure of the right wing
