Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 108 →
Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 109 – The flight number was 109 not 108. I could not find a direct final report but I could find a video describing the final report here:
[1] where in one of the scenes, it mentioned that the flight number was 109. The Aviation safety network also mentions it as flight 109.

Oppose - "109" is most likely a typo, given that a vast majority of sources use "108". Also of note is the fact that it is customary for airlines to retire flight numbers which were involved in fatal accidents. "Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 109" has been active as recently as
September 2017, while "Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 108" does not appear to have been used since the accident. -

@
ZLEA: The vast majority of sources may use 108 but that's mainly because Wikipedia mentions it. The final report mentions it as 330/109. Sure Flight numbers may be retired but there are some exceptions to it
American Airlines Flight 1 (1962).

Username006 Sure, it may very well have been an exception, but that doesn't explain why "Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 108" isn't used anymore. Furthermore, a Google search of
Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 108 and
Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela Flight 109 from before January 1, 2010 (just under a month before this article was created) brings up very little results, none of which are directly related to this topic. Are there any other official documents which refer to the flight as "Flight 109"? -
ZLEAT\C 04:17, 15 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Yes, the official report does mention it as 109. Not considering as a source but other languages (i.e. Deutsch and Español) both mention it as Flight 109.
