The airplane was completing a flight from Belém to Cachimbo Airport, Novo Progresso, with an intermediate stop in Jacareacanga. During the second leg, the crew informed ground he encountered technical problems with the radiocompas and was cleared to return to Jacareacanga. By night and due to the lack of points of reference on the ground, the crew lost his orientation and was unable to locate the Jacareacanga Airport. Later, the captain informed ground he try to divert to Manaus but he was eventually forced to attempt an emergency landing due to fuel exhaustion. The airplane struck trees, stalled and eventually crashed in a swampy area located in the region of Coari. As the airplane failed to arrive at Cachimbo Airport, SAR operations were conducted and the wreckage was found 10 days later in an isolated area. Five occupants were found alive while 20 others were killed.

The aircraft departed Reykjavik City Airport at 1726LT on a cargo flight to Vestmannaeyjar with a crew of three and various goods on board. While approaching the Vestmann Islands, weather deteriorated and the pilot was unable to locate the runway. He took the decision to make a go-around and to follow a holding pattern around the island. Few minutes later, while approaching from the north, the airplane struck the slope of Mt Kervikurkjall located less than 4 km north of the airfield. The airplane was destroyed and all three crew members were killed. It is believed the accident was caused by a loss of control due to sudden downdrafts.
