The airline commenced operations in 2012 with aircraft from its parent company and since gradually acquired its own fleet.

Aboard the flight was also an Instructor, a second pilot and an Estonian Civil Aviation Administration inspector.

Pilots used manual pitch trim and engine thrust to stabilize the flight path and make a turn back to the runway.

The safety pilot recognized the problem in time, and the instructor took control from the trainee.

No one aboard was killed; however, there was severe damage to the aircraft, and it was subsequently written off.
