BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian airline company Satena said Thursday it had not received any prior warning of adverse weather conditions that would have prevented the flight of a plane that crashed and killed 15 people, but that it is awaiting the results of a formal investigation. The aircraft, which crashed in the rural area of the municipality of La Playa de Belen in the northeastern Catatumbo region, lost communication with air traffic control around midday on Wednesday, shortly after taking off from border city Cucuta. Satena’s president, Gen. Óscar Zuluaga, said that communication between the crew and air traffic control was normal.
