Description

On 3 February 2022, a Boeing 737-200F (HK5192) being operated by Aerosucre on a non-scheduled domestic cargo flight departing from Puerto Carreño for Bogota as KRE157 in day VMC collided with an on-track obstruction almost immediately after becoming airborne. This collision involved the left wing and engine impacting a tree and the damaged engine ran down as the climb continued. A partially successful restart of the failed engine was achieved but with an excessive indicated temperature, this was followed by a decision to return to land which was accomplished without further event despite the relatively short runway. The damage to the aircraft was subsequently found to be relatively minor with the engine failure attributable to tree debris ingestion.
