- Date: March 7, 2019
- Aircraft: Learjet 35
- Location: Buenos Aires-Aeroparque-Jorge Newbery, Buenos Aires City, Argentina
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Strong wind gusts displaced the airplane from the runway, and the crew could not recover the trajectory before it left the runway.
A Learjet 35A on a charter flight from Rosario landed at Buenos Aires Aeroparque in a strong thunderstorm with heavy rain and gusts. It touched down displaced from the centerline, veered left onto the grass and then onto a taxiway, where both main landing gear were torn off. All four occupants were unhurt, and investigators attributed the excursion to the gusty wind displacing the airplane.
