A Bolivian Cessna 550 Citation Bravo (CP-3243), believed operated by Exomad SA, was destroyed when it crashed in a remote area of Cochabamba Department, Bolivia on April 13, 2026. The two crew, the only people on board, died in the crash. According to press reports the aircraft took-off from El Alto International Airport, La Paz, Bolivia at 0819L on a flight to El Trompillo Airport, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. After take-off it turned left, climbing to FL390, towards the southeast, directly towards Santa Cruz. The flight appeared to be proceeding normally until about 0850L when it turned left towards the north northeast. Five minutes later it entered a right turn and began to circle clockwise. The aircraft continued to circle, with each orbit taking about five/six minutes, for about two hours (about 20 full circles) before the radius of the circle tightened. The aircraft then turned left and entered a steep descent which continued until impact in a wooded area between San Gabriel and Castellon, about 115km northeast of Cochabamba.
