On 14 October 2013, one of Aéreo Servicio Guerrero's Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft (registration XA-TXM) impacted terrain approximately sixteen miles west of Loreto International Airport after departing on a scheduled commercial passenger service to Ciudad Constitución Airport.[3] According to news sources, Tropical Storm Octave was nearby at the time, and may have been to blame.[4] All fourteen people on board were killed in the incident, which is only in the preliminary stages of investigation [3]
In March 2021, private pilot and aviation content creator Noel Philips took a flight on one of Aéreo Servicio Guerrero's Cessna Grand Caravans and expressed concern over the safety of the airline. The single pilot, who was hand-flying the aircraft, was captured on camera with both hands off the yoke using and looking at his smartphone and listening to spotify during the flight, which did not appear to have a functioning autopilot and also appeared to have some inoperative flight instruments.[5]
As a result of the pilot's distraction, the aircraft's navigation hardware and Philips' personal flight tracking tools both recorded significant deviation from the flight plan. The altimeter also showed an unplanned loss of altitude of around 500-700 feet (213 meters), assuming an assigned altitude of FL090 in the video.[5]
