The air ambulance plane had transported a patient to Reykjavik, Iceland and was returning to Akureyri. The flight had to hold to the west of the airport, because another plane was taking off. While in a left hand turn, the airplane lost height. The left wing touched the ground and the airplane broke up while impacting terrain at Hlíðarfjall Road, northwest of the Airport. A post-impact fire erupted.
