Two people were killed Monday when a Cessna aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Pachuca National Airport in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo, said Mexico’s Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC).

Axar.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency, the Cessna 210 aircraft, operated by Grupo Aeroespacial Avspace, departed at 9.30 a.m. local time (1530GMT) bound for Cuernavaca International Airport in the state of Morelos, AFAC said in a post on X.

The aircraft crashed just one minute after departure during its initial climb, when it was around 500 meters (1,640 feet) from the beginning of runway 21, the agency said.

According to preliminary information, the plane fell onto Tezontle Avenue in the Venta Prieta neighborhood of Pachuca, the capital of Hidalgo.

Both people aboard the aircraft were killed. AFAC did not immediately release their identities or provide further details about their positions aboard the plane.

No preliminary conclusions about the cause of the crash have been released.

A Cessna 210 is a single-engine aircraft used for private and general aviation operations.
