The flight left Kunming Changshui International Airport, Kunming at 13:15 local time (05:15 UTC). It was going to Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou. At 14:22, the plane began to show signs of crashing. The wreckage of the plane was found near Teng County, Guangxi. The aircraft was carrying 132 people, including 123 passengers and 9 crew members.

Crash

According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), contact with the aircraft was lost over the city of Wuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. At 2:20 p.m. CST, while preparing to descend into Guangzhou, the aircraft entered a sharp descent. It fell 20,000 feet, to 7,400 feet. The plane gained 1,200 feet before crashing into a hillside.

The accident was caught by security camera, shown in a near vertical dive without a vertical stabilizer, and with a white trail behind it as it descended, before disappearing out of view. A piece of the aircraft was found miles away from the final crash site of the aircraft, hinting to a midair breakup.

The plane left a 65-foot (20 m) deep hole in a surrounding forest.
