Boeing 737-800 bi moral imeti pred poletom z mikronezijskega otoka Pohnpei v prestolnico Papue Nove Gvineje Port Moresby postanek v Chuuku, ki je najbolj poseljeno mesto Mikronezije.

Vzrok nesreče še ni znan, je pa direktor letališča Chuuk pojasnil, da je letalo za 150 metrov zgrešilo pristajalno stezo in pristalo v laguni. Pristajalna steza je namreč povsem na obali.
