What: Aeromar ATR-42 en route from Saltillo to Mexico City
Where: Saltillo-Plan de Guadalupe International Airport, Mexico
When: 25-JUL-2020
Who: 38 passengers
Why: 25 minutes into the flight, a windshield cracked. The plane returned and made a safe landing in Saltillo. Passengers were not informed of what was happening until they had already returned to the terminal.

The plane was turned over to maintenance where it took twelve hours to replace the damaged glass. The crack was not due to a bird strike, but was considered “material fatigue.” Passengers waited at the airport for a replacement plane.
