Crossair Flight 498 (LX498/CRX498) was a scheduled commuter flight from Zürich, Switzerland, to Dresden, Germany. On 10 January 2000, the Saab 340B operating the flight crashed two minutes after takeoff in the Swiss municipality of Niederhasli on 10 January 2000, killing all 10 passengers and crew. It was the one of two fatal crash for the Swiss regional airline Crossair in its 25-year history, the other was Crossair Flight 3597 which crashed less than 2 years later during approach to Zurich.[1]
The accident was investigated by the Swiss Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), and a final report was issued in 2000. The AAIB concluded that the crash was due to a loss of control resulting from multiple human failures.[2]: pp.104–107
