A small passenger plane crashed into a warehouse in central Mexico while attempting an emergency landing, resulting in the deaths of all 10 individuals on board, including three children.
The crash took place on December 15, 2025, approximately 2.7 kilometers southwest of the runway 33 threshold at Licenciado Adolfo López Mateos International Airport (TLC) in Toluca, Mexico.
The aircraft involved was a Cessna 650 Citation II, registered as XA-PRO, and operated by Jetpro SA, a company that provides executive jet rentals and aviation consulting services.
Initial local reports indicated that seven bodies were discovered within the wreckage of the aircraft before the confirmed death toll increased to 10.
Among the victims are three children, all under the age of 10, who are believed to be from the same family, as well as five adult passengers and two pilots.
The aircraft took off from Acapulco International Airport (ACA) at around 11:55 local time for a short-scheduled flight to Toluca’s Lic. Adolfo López Mateos International Airport (TLC).
FlightAware data shows that the aircraft was expected to arrive in Toluca at approximately 12:31 local time, with a planned flight duration of about 29 minutes.
However, after receiving clearance to land, the crew reported that they were initiating a go-around. According to ADS-B data, the aircraft then entered a descending left turn before crashing.
Local authorities reported that the crash resulted in a significant fire, leading to mass evacuations. Video footage shared online captures plumes of thick black smoke, rising from the site of the crash.
