Die Maschine, die einen Flug vom Flughafen Rom-Fiumicino zum Flughafen Monrovia in Liberia durchführte, wurde dabei aufgrund eines Pilotenfehlers kurz vor der geplanten Landung in den Boden gelenkt (controlled flight into terrain), wobei 56 Menschen starben. Es ist bislang (Oktober 2019) der schwerste Flugunfall in Liberia. (de)

This is the worst aviation accident in Liberia to this day. Investigators determined the probable cause of the crash to be "The failure of the pilot-in-command to arrest in time the fast descent at a low altitude upon which he had erroneously decided, instead of executing a missed approach when he found himself too high over the locator beacon."
