A twin-engine Piper PA-31T1 Cheyenne crashed shortly after takeoff from Paramillo Airport in San Cristóbal, Venezuela, killing both pilots.
According to preliminary information from Venezuela’s National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC), the aircraft experienced a critical malfunction during its initial climb before losing altitude and crashing near the runway.
Witnesses reported hearing unusual engine sounds before the plane burst into flames.
Emergency crews responded quickly and prevented the fire from spreading. Authorities have launched a full investigation to determine the cause, examining mechanical systems, flight records, and witness statements.
Officials urged the public to avoid speculation until the investigation is complete.
