A Bombardier Challenger 300 crashed on Wednesday, December 18th, shortly after it touched down at San Fernando International Airport (QAE), which is situated north-west of Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to reports, the plane was unable to brake after landing at the airport, which ultimately led to it veering off the runway and into a row of homes. The plane exploded and caught fire as a result of the subsequent accident. The tragedy tragically claimed the lives of the captain and co-pilot, the two people who were inside the aeroplane.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 that went down in Argentina had the registration number LV-GOK, according to Flightradar24. At around 11:12 local time, this plane took off from San Fernando International Airport (QAE), which is located outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina, to start the day. After a little more than 30 minutes of flight, the plane touched down at Punta del Este International Airport (PDP) in La Capuera, Uruguay, at around 11:44 local time. This flight was intended to carry a number of passengers.
Soon later, the plane was supposed to return to Buenos Aires. The Bombardier Challenger 300 took off from La Capuera, Uruguay, at around 12:44 local time, according to Flightradar24. It took about thirty-four minutes to return to San Fernando International Airport. At at 13:18 local time, the plane landed on runway 05 of San Fernando International Airport. However, other reports claim that when the Challenger 300 touched down, braking became extremely difficult. The plane eventually crashed into a line of buildings arranged outside the airport boundary after veering off the runway and running over the fence enclosing the airport.
