Parked at Bogotá-El Dorado Airport, the airplane was stolen by a 23 year old man who had been fired after working as a mechanic at the airport. Following a night takeoff, the pilot completed low passes when the airplane crashed into several houses located in a populated area near the airport. The aircraft and few houses were destroyed. The 'pilot' and three people on the ground were killed while seven others were injured.

After takeoff from Bogotá-El Dorado Airport, while in initial climb, the captain contacted ATC, declared an emergency and was cleared to return. Following hydraulic problems, the landing on runway 12 was completed with the left main gear still retracted. The airplane slid on its left belly then veered off runway to the left and eventually came to rest against a bank. All 57 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. A loud bang in the rear of the cabin was heard after takeoff, followed by warning lights coming on in the cockpit panel. Due to the failure of the hydraulic system, the cabin pressure failed.

En route on a cargo flight from Port of Spain to Bogotá, while in cruising altitude, the crew declared an emergency and reported an engine failure. The captain elected to divert to Tame Airport when the aircraft apparently crashed in the El Cocuy National Park. SAR operations were initiated but eventually abandoned as no trace of the aircraft nor the three crew members was found.
