- The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, operated by Aerodiana, left Pisco airport at about 12:10 local time for a sightseeing flight over the Nazca Lines.
- According to reconstructions by broadcaster RPP, the pilot declared an emergency at 13:01 near María Reiche aerodrome in Nazca before contact was lost.
- Rescuers reached the burning crash site in the Pueblo Viejo sector, about eight kilometres from the aerodrome, and there were no survivors.
- Italy’s foreign ministry confirmed the seven deaths, while Peru’s authorities reportedly opened an investigation into the cause, with adverse weather conditions cited by the Farnesina.
"Profound grief for the tragic plane crash in Peru, in which seven Italian citizens also lost their lives," she wrote on social media. "To their loved ones I extend, on behalf of the Italian government and personally, my most sincere closeness at this moment of immense sorrow."— Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister, in a social media post expressing condolences
