A jet crashed during takeoff from Bangor after a prolonged deicing wait, killing all six on board.
A preliminary National Transportation Safety Board report indicates a Bombardier Challenger 600 jet crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport on January 25, 2026, killing all six aboard.
The plane waited 17 minutes on the runway after deicing—eight minutes beyond the FAA’s recommended 9-minute holdover time—during a snowstorm with near-zero temperatures.
Pilots later stated they considered waits of 14 to 18 minutes acceptable, though FAA guidelines strictly limit the window.
The aircraft, owned by a Texas law firm and en route from Houston to France, flipped upside down and caught fire after impact.
Investigators are reviewing deicing procedures, chemical quality, weather conditions, and crew experience, with a final report expected next year.
