The twin engine airplane departed Nassau-Lynden Pindling Airport runway 14 at 1230LT on a flight to San Andros, carrying nine passengers and one pilot. Following a short 20-minute flight at an altitude of 2,300 feet, the pilot initiated a left hand circuit and the approach to runway 12 when the airplane crashed in a wooded area located about one km short of runway, bursting into flames. A passenger was seriously injured while nine other occupants were killed. Few hours later, the only survivor died from injuries sustained.

The single engine airplane departed Yei Airfield at 0915LT on a flight to Juba, carrying 13 passengers and one pilot. Approaching Juba, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions and limited visibility when the airplane crashed 20 km southwest of Juba, bursting into flames. All 14 occupants were killed, 12 South Sudanese citizens and two Kenyans.

After landing on a dirt runway at Mandera Airfield, the twin engine airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It ended in trees and collided with the perimeter fence comprising concrete posts. All 36 occupants evacuated safely.

After landing on runway 04 at New York-LaGuardia Airport at night, the crew initiated the braking procedure when, at a speed of 114 knots, the airplane collided with a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle which was responding to a separate incident. The truck n°35 had preliminarily been cleared and was responding to a nearby flight (United Boeing 737 MAX 8 flight 2384) that requested assistance for an unknown odor in the cockpit. It entered the runway from the left side of the airplane's track, from taxiway D, when the collision occurred while the speed of the airplane was still at 114 knots. Following the collision, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway to the right and came to rest in a parallel taxiway with the cockpit and the front section totally destroyed. Both pilots were killed and nine passengers were injured. 41 passengers and crew were transported to the hospital and 32 of those have since been released. Additionally, two crew of the fire truck were injured.

The airplane departed Kisumu International Airport at 1958LT on an hour’s Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) commercial scheduled passenger flight to HKNW in Nairobi County. For this segment of flight, the Pilot-In-Command (PIC) was the pilot flying and the First Officer (FO) was the pilot monitoring. According to the flight crew, a prior ground briefing was carried out at HKKI before takeoff for the approach runway 06 (RWY 06) Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (HKJK) in Nairobi. It was discussed that the flight crew would maintain Instrument Landing System (ILS) HKJK RWY 06, and if the flight crew got a visual of HKNW RWY 32, it would then break off and position for right base HKNW RWY 32. According to the flight plan, the alternate aerodrome of landing was HKJK or Kilimanjaro International Airport (HTKJ) After being visual with HKNW RWY 32, the flight crew broke off the ILS and began a visual approach for landing. The flight noticed the aircraft was too high when it crossed the threshold of RWY 32. The flight crew increased the descent rate to 700 ft per minute. An Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) “sink rate” warning sounded in the cockpit, followed by a hard landing. The aircraft lost control and veered off to the right of the runway into the grass area and stopped at about 30 metres. The nose landing gear collapsed while the left main landing gear detached, and the right main landing gear sustained damage. All 37 occupants evacuated safely.

The twin engine airplane departed Mogadishu-Aden Adde Airport on a schedule service to Galkayo with 55 people on board. About 15 minutes into the flight, the crew encountered technical difficulties and decided to return to Mogadishu. It appears that the airplane landed on runway 23 but was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and crashed in shallow water few dozen metres past the runway end. There were no injuries among the occupants and the airplane is damaged beyond repair.

While descending at an altitude of 7,900 feet in limited visibility due to patches of fog, the airplane impacted the slope of a mountain located near the village of Curasica.

Two minutes after takeoff, while climbing, the crew informed ATC about a loss of engine power and was cleared for an immediate return and landing on runway 17. Unable to do so, the pilot attempted an emergency landing and ditched the airplane into the sea, few hundred metres northwest of the airfield. All 13 occupants were rescued.

The single engine airplane departed Bhubaneswar-Biju Patnaik Airport at 1220LT on a schedule service to Rourkela, carrying four passengers and two pilots.
