According to the newspaper, the crew never checked in with the Saltillo tower, but causes of course are unknown. Saltillo has a single operational runway, it is sourrounded by mountains and it is equipped with an ILS CAT I or II. It is the base of Saltillo Jet Center, a painting facility owned in part by ExpressJet airlines, and it has been used by several airlines for painting their aircraft including XJET, ASA, VivaAerobus, JetBlue.


Terrible shame.

Wow, very sad. Cargo flight I assume? Maybe a positioning ferry?
