Hop-A-Jet Flight 823 was a chartered U.S. domestic flight operated by Hop-A-Jet from Ohio State University Airport in Columbus, Ohio, to Naples Airport in Naples, Florida. Shortly before landing on February 9, 2024, the pilots reported a dual engine failure and attempted to land on Interstate 75. The aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 604, was destroyed and consumed by a post-crash fire. Both pilots were killed, but the two passengers and the sole flight attendant on board survived.

Aircraft

The aircraft involved was a Bombardier Challenger 604 with manufacturer's serial number 5584 and registered as N823KD.[1] The aircraft was built in 2004[2] and can carry up to 12 passengers.[1] The aircraft was owned by East Shore Aviation LLC[2] and was operated by Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter, a private jet travel company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[1] The aircraft was under the command of Captain Edward Daniel Murphy and First Officer Ian Frederick Hofmann.[3]

Accident

As the plane approached Naples Airport, the pilots radioed to air traffic controllers that both engines had failed, later adding that they would not be able to make it to the runway. The pilots attempted to land on Interstate 75 near mile marker 107. As the aircraft approached the road surface, it collided with a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and a Nissan Armada SUV, erupted in flames, and came to rest against a concrete wall at the side of the southbound lanes.[4][5][6] Both pilots were killed, but the two passengers and flight attendant on board survived.[7] The flight attendant was able to help the passengers evacuate from the aircraft's single overwing exit.[3] The driver of the pickup truck, a 48-year-old Naples man, suffered minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.[8] The aircraft was heavily damaged by the post-crash fire.

Investigation

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation into the accident. Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter is providing support as a member of the investigation party.[9]

The southbound lanes of Interstate 75 remained closed until Sunday, February 11, as crews examined the wreckage. Before the road was reopened, the wreckage was moved to a secure facility in Jacksonville for additional evaluation. The agency said it would also send the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder to agency headquarters in Washington, D.C.[10]
