The aircraft was an ATR 42-320 registered C-GWEA. On 13 December 2017, shortly after taking off from Fond-du-Lac, the ATR-42 lost altitude and hit the ground. All 25 passengers and crews initially survived the crash, but one passenger later died of his injuries in hospital. Investigation on the cause of the crash is still ongoing.
