NTSB says plane fell apart mid-air before crashing near Reno, killing 5; Utah-based operator has history of fatal crashes
RENO, Nev. — A medical flight that crashed near Reno, Nevada Saturday morning was en route to Salt Lake City, and the Utah-based company that operated the flight has had multiple other fatal crashes in recent years.
NTSB vice chairman Bruce Landsberg said the flight departed the Reno International Airport around 9 a.m. and was heading for SLC International. The plane went down about 14 minutes after takeoff, near the town of Dayton.There were five people on board, and none of them survived. The NTSB said the"Care Flight" was operated by Guardian Flight, a company based out of South Jordan, Utah. The company"specializes in the critical medical transport of patients" in"remote and rural settings," according to its website.
In December 2022, a Guardian-operated flight went down off the coast of Hawaii, killing three people. Another Guardian flight crashed in January 2019 in Alaska, also killing three.
