Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Guangzhou

On March 21, 2022, the Boeing 737NG 89P/W aircraft (registration B-1791), operated by China Eastern Airlines, was involved in a fatal accident at Guangzhou (China), leaving 132 dead. Source: the NTSB (United States).

What happened

The 737 flying from Kunming to Guangzhou plunged from cruise almost vertically and crashed in the mountains of Guangxi. All 132 people on board died. The Chinese authority has not published a cause; American press reports said the flight data pointed to inputs made from the cockpit. It is China's worst air accident in almost three decades.
