Incidents
- On January 28, 1978, a Douglas DC-3D ( aircraft registration number HK-1351 ) collided with a mountain at Cerro de Granada 24 kilometers from the destination airport of San Vicente. All twelve people on board were killed. The plane was on a scheduled flight from Neiva ( Huila ) to San Vicente del Caguán ( Caquetá ) inland. The height of the accident site is 2100 meters. The mountain was covered by clouds at that time.
- On August 11, 1981, the pilots of a Douglas DC-4 of SADELCA (HK-136) had to make an emergency landing on the flight from Florencia to Neiva . The machine was damaged beyond repair. People were not harmed.
- There are also two further incidents: on 24 August 1998 (aborted take-off operation due to non-lifting of the Antonov An-32 ) and on 15 October 2009 (shelling of a Douglas DC-3 by FARC -Rebellen), but both without personal injury.
