A private jet crash occurred at Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday evening, shortly after takeoff. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that a twin-engine turbo-fan Bombardier Challenger 600 had crashed and caught fire around 7:45 p.m., resulting in an immediate investigation by the agency.

The official statement from the FAA mentioned that although specific details about the victims were not immediately available, there was significant damage due to a substantial fire following the accident. Weather conditions prior to the crash included light snowfall reported at Bangor International Airport, though authorities did not indicate if weather played any role in the incident.

Bangor, Maine’s third-largest city, was under a winter storm warning that covered most of the state at the time. The aircraft had originated from Texas and is registered with a Houston address shared by Arnold & Itkin, an injury law firm. According to FAA records, the Challenger 600 entered service in April 2020.
