What happened

At 23:00 UTC on 7 November 2026, VTM679, a Canadair CL-600 Challenger 800 registered XA-VFF, began transmitting transponder code 7600, lost communications (nordo), near San Antonio (SAT) at FL320.

The code stayed up for about 0 minutes; we last saw it at 23:00 UTC. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7600 means radio failure: the aircraft has lost two-way communication with air traffic control and is following standard procedures. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
