Accidents and incidents

  • 14 April 1976: A Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Avro 748, registration LV-HHB, that was transferring staff between Rincón de los Sauces and Cutral Có, crashed 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of the intended destination.

All 34 occupants of the aircraft —31 passengers and a crew of three— perished in the accident.[4][5]
