Aviation incident in 2022
DHL de Guatemala Flight 7216 was an international cargo flight between Costa Rica's Juan Santamaría International Airport () and Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport (). On   2022 (2022--), the Boeing 757 suffered a hydraulic failure, and crashed on landing at the Costa Rican airport. Neither of the two pilots were injured.
Crash.
The flight took off at 9:34 AM local time () from Juan Santamaría International Airport to La Aurora International Airport to deliver cargo. However, while flying over the Costa Rican town of Mueller San Carlos (or the Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco, it is unclear), the pilot declared an emergency due to hydraulic problems, and returned to the terminal, after flying a holding pattern to empty its fuel tanks, and touched down at 10:25 am (local time).
According to videos, the aircraft rolled on the runway after touch-down. It then veered over 90 degrees to the right on taxiway Kilo, crashing into a ditch in front of the airport fire station and breaking apart. Neither pilot was physically injured, but one pilot underwent medical checks as a precaution.
