Accidents and incidents

On June 2, 2015, an Aeronaves TSM Swearingen SA226-TC Metro II with the registration of XA-UKP was on a post-maintenance test flight and took off from Querétaro Intercontinental Airport (QRO) after reaching 9,000 feet, the crew most likely lost control of the aircraft, and they crash into Highway 57. The probable cause of the crash was loss of control, but it is still undetermined why control was lost.

On January 18, 2014, an Aeronaves TSM McDonnell Douglas DC-9-33RC with the registration of XA-UQM was significantly damaged at Saltillo Airport. They touched down on the last third of the runway and the nose gear collapsed. The probable cause was dense fog and the crew could not see the runway properly, so they touched down hard and braked too much resulting in the landing gear collapsing.

On June 2, 2017, an Aeronaves TSM Swearingen SA227-AC Metro III with the registration of XA-UAJ, needed to land Tampico International Airport, Mexico, because the aircraft had run out of fuel. The aircraft departed Saltillo Airport at 21:27 on a non-scheduled cargo flight to Puebla, Mexico, carrying a total of approximately 550 kg of cargo. Before departure, the plane needed about 2000 lb of fuel. However, the flight took off without having been refueled and with just 700 lb of fuel. At 22:27 hours the flight declared a fuel emergency to the Mexico City ACC controller. The crew decided to divert to Tampico. They crash landed 850 meters from the start of the runway with both crew injured.
