Douglas DC-2
The crew started the descent to Oaxaca-Xoxocotlan Airport when the airplane struck the slope of a mountain located 39 km from the airport. The wreckage was spotted few hours later and all 22 occupants have been killed. For undetermined reason, the crew started the descent prematurely.
Boeing 247
Just after liftoff, while in initial climb, the twin engine airplane stalled and crashed. Both crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Douglas DC-2
Shortly after takeoff from San Luis Acatlán Aerodrome, while in initial climb, the airplane hit an obstacle and crashed. Both pilots and eleven passengers were killed while eight other occupants were injured. It was determined that while approaching San Luis Acatlán Airfield earlier that day, the crew spotted some cattle on the grassy runway and it took time for locals to remove all animals. Thus, the landing was delayed and when the crew started the takeoff run to Acapulco, it was already dark and the visibility was apparently insufficient.
Avro 652 Anson
Suffered an accident somewhere in Mexico in February 1949 (exact date unknown).
