| dbo:abstract | On 21 May 2000, a British Aerospace BAe-3101 Jetstream 3101 operated by East Coast Aviation Services (known operationally as Executive Airlines) crashed into mountainous terrain in Bear Creek Township, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The plane was carrying 17 professional gamblers returning home from Caesar's Palace Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, along with 2 crew members. It was chartered by Caesar's Palace (New Jersey). All 19 passengers and crews on board were killed on impact. This accident, alongside the accident of Aerocaribe Flight 7831 were the accidents with the most number of fatalities involving the Jetstream 3101 airliner. An investigation was conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board. It found that while the aircraft was approaching Scranton International Airport, it ran out of fuel. The investigation found that the crews were supposed to refill the aircraft with a total of 180 gallons of fuel. Instead, they refilled with 90 gallons. Although the final report concluded that fuel exhaustion was the cause of the crash, it was not received warmly by some relatives of the victims. Several of them filled lawsuits against Executive Airlines and British Aerospace. Executive Airlines chief executive Michael Peragine questioned the NTSB report, claiming that it dismissed several other factors that might have been beneficial to the investigation.

La aeronave estaba trasladando a diecisiete jugadores de póker profesionales de regreso a casa desde el casino del Caesar's Palace en Atlantic City (Nueva Jersey), además de dos tripulantes. El vuelo había sido fletado por el Caesar's Palace (Nueva Jersey). Las diecinueve personas que viajaban a bordo entre pasajeros y tripulantes fallecieron en el acto. La Oficina Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte llevó a cabo una investigación del accidente. Se descubrió que mientras la aeronave estaba efectuando la aproximación al , se quedó sin combustible. La investigación descubrió que la tripulación tenía previsto repostar 180 galones de combustible, pero en su lugar sólo repostaron noventa galones. Aunque el informe final concluía que el agotamiento de combustible había sido la causa principal del siniestro, esta conclusión no fue bien recibida por algunos de los familiares de las víctimas. Algunos de ellos presentaron demandas judiciales contra Executive Airlines y British Aerospace. El director ejecutivo de Executive Airlines, Michael Peragine, cuestionó el informe de la NTSB, afirmando que se habían obviado muchos otros factores que podrían haber contribuido a la investigación.

O avião transportava 17 jogadores profissionais voltando para casa do Caesar's Palace Casino em Atlantic City, Nova Jérsia junto com 2 membros da tripulação. Foi fretado pelo Caesars Atlantic City. Todos os 19 ocupantes a bordo morreram instantaneamente. Uma investigação foi conduzida pelo Conselho Nacional de Segurança nos Transportes. Foi descoberto que enquanto a aeronave se aproximava do , ficou sem combustível. A investigação também descobriu que a tripulação deveria reabastecer a aeronave com um total de 180 galões de combustível. Em vez disso, eles recarregaram com 90 galões. Embora o relatório final conclua que o esgotamento do combustível foi a causa do acidente, não foi recebido calorosamente por alguns parentes das vítimas. Vários deles entraram com ações judiciais contra a Executive Airlines (East Coast Aviation Services) e a British Aerospace. O presidente-executivo da Executive Airlines, Michael Peragine, questionou o relatório do NTSB, alegando que ele rejeitou vários outros fatores que poderiam ter sido benéficos para a investigação.
