There were no injuries to the 6 crew members onboard and the airplane received no damaged. The repositioning flight was enroute from Casablanca - Mohammed V International Airport (GMMN), Casablanca, Morocco, to Venice - Marco Polo International Airport (LIPZ), Venice, Italy.
The investigation is being conducted by the Italian Agenzia nazionale per la sicurezza del volo (ANSV). The NTSB has appointed an Accredited Representative to assist the investigation under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 as the Country of Manufacture and Design of the airplane.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: damage. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
