Accidents and incidents

14 April 1976: A Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Avro 748, registration LV-HHB, that was transferring staff between Rincón de los Sauces and Cutral Có, crashed 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of the intended destination. The aircraft was approximately half an hour into the flight, at 4,000 feet (1,200 m), when both the starboard wing and the starboard horizontal stabiliser detached from the fuselage, causing the aircraft to corkscrew to the earth, crashing and bursting into flames. All 34 occupants of the aircraft —31 passengers and a crew of three— perished in the accident.
