Secondo le voci della compagnia l'aereo avrebbe dovuto fare lo stop per il carburante proprio a Bogotà.
"Though the plane was set to make a stop in Bogota (Colombia) to refuel, it went straight to the final destination. Colombian civil aviation authorities will investigate why the plane didn’t have enough fuel."
Lo riporta il Mirror, giornale inglese. Il suddetto giornale sostiene anche che il pilota fosse a conoscenza del fatto che non sarebbe stato in grado di finire il volo senza un refuel
"From Santa Cruz, the pilot had to go to Cobija, Bolivia. From Cobija he had to go to Medellín. Instead, he went directly to Medellín, and from there had to decide whether to continue in that direction or redirect to Bogotá.
“It was night,” Vargas said. “And coming from Brazil made that even more complicated. But in hindsight, if the pilot continued toward Medellín it’s because he had the ability to do so.”
