Satena

Satena is Colombia's state-run airline. It is currently newsworthy due to a recent plane crash involving one of its aircraft. On Wednesday, a Satena Beechcraft 1900 twin-engined turboprop plane, en route from Cucuta to Ocana, crashed in northeast Colombia, resulting in the death of all 15 people on board, including a local lawmaker. Air traffic control lost contact with the plane shortly after takeoff. The wreckage has been located in a mountainous area. Search and rescue efforts were initially hampered by dense terrain and adverse weather conditions in the remote jungle near the Venezuelan border. The incident has brought Satena into the spotlight, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding the crash and the safety of air travel in the region.
