While cruising in poor weather conditions, the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located near the Ouillat Pass, on the French territory, about five km north of the Spanish village of Requesens.

At the time of the accident, the visibility was reduced due to poor weather conditions and the crew was flying at an insufficient altitude to pass over the Pyrenees Mountain Range.
