The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from runway 33 at Cúcuta. The aircraft registration number was HK-1716. That airplane had flown previously with Pan Am , as #N321PA. The aircraft was built in 1966, and had 43,848 hours of airframe time. There were no survivors among the 7 crew and 136 passengers. The official cause of the crash was a controlled flight into terrain ( CFIT ) at 6,200 feet. The investigation pointed to a number of probable causes, including a non-crew Pilot in the cockpit, whose presence diverted the attention of the pilot and who interfered with the operation of the aircraft, and a lack of teamwork between the pilot and co-pilot.
