The runway 09/27 of Lokichogio airport (1,800 metres long) was blocked by a 748 Air Services' Avro 748 which belly landed 2 hours earlier. On approach, the Lockheed's crew was informed by ATC that landing was impossible due the previous incident. The crew told ATC that diverting was also impossible due to low fuel reserve and elected to land on the remaining runway. The four engine aircraft landed hard and eventually collided with the Avro 748 registered 5Y-SFE and crashed.
