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 from Querétaro Intercontinental Airport (QRO). After reaching 9,000 feet of altitude, the crew most likely lost control of the aircraft and crashed in Highway 57. The probable cause of the loss of control is still undetermined.

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

On June 2, 2017, an Aeronaves TSM Swearingen SA227-AC Metro III with registration XA-UAJ, crash landed at Tampico International Airport, Mexico, due to aircraft fuel exhaustion. The aircraft departed Saltillo Airport at 21:27 on a non-scheduled cargo flight to Puebla, Mexico, carrying approximately 550 kg of cargo. Before departure, the plane needed about 2000 lb of fuel. However, the flight took off without having been properly refueled with just 700 lb of fuel. At 22:27 hours the flight declared an 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.
