The airplane departed Barranquilla-Ernesto Cortissoz Airport Runway 05 at 0227LT on a cargo service (flight KRE141) to Bogotá. About 15 minutes into the flight, bound to the south at an altitude of 15,000 feet, the crew initiated a 180 turn after he informed ATC about technical problems with the landing gear. The crew followed several circuits southwest of the airport then completed a low pass over the runway at a height of about 250 feet. Following this maneuver, the airplane continued to climb and turn to the left before heading to the south. The airplane landed on runway 05 at 0340LT. After touchdown, the left main gar collapsed, causing the left wing to struck the ground, and the airplane slid for few hundred metres before coming to rest at 0341LT.

The twin engine airplane departed Sligo Airport at 1121LT on a private flight to Béziers. About an hour into the flight, while cruising at an altitude of 10,900 feet over the Celtic Sea, the pilot encountered an unexpected situation and was cleared to divert to Waterford Airport. He gradually reduced his altitude and was cleared for an approach to runway 03. On approach, he lost control of the airplane that crashed in a pasture located south of the airport. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and the pilot, sole occupant, was killed.

Chartered by the DRC Government, the airplane was carrying a delegation of the Ministry of Mines who was flying from Kinshasa to Kolwezi to meet local government following a recent incident in the mine of Kalando. After departure from Kinshasa-N'Djili Airport, a stop was made in Lubumbashi. Upon landing on runway 29 at Kolwezi Airport, both main landing gear were sheared off. The airplane slid for few hundred metres then veered off runway to the left and came to a halt perpendicularly to the runway, bursting into flames. All 29 occupants, 26 passengers and three crew members, escaped without injuries before the airplane would be destroyed by fire. At the time of the accident, the first portion of 1,000 metres of the runway 29 was in a resurfacing process. A Notam was published, informing crew that the runway 29 threshold was displaced of 1,000 metres, offering a landing distance available of 1,500 metres. The airplane overflew the portion under construction but landed before the displaced threshold, causing both main landing gear to be sheared off.

Upon landing at night on runway 04 at Nyala Airport, the airplane was shot down by Sudan Armed Forces. The airplane veered off runway to the left and crashed in a ditch located 900 metres past the runway threshold, bursting into flames. The airplane was totally destroyed and all 19 occupants were killed, among them 17 members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) including Abdul Rahim Wad Abuk, uncle of Hemedti, commander of the RSF. Sudan Government reported the airplane was shot down because suspected of carrying weapons and army equipment on behalf of the rebels.

The airplane departed Dubai-Al Maktoum International Airport on a cargo service to Hong Kong on behalf of Emirates Sky Cargo (flight EK9788) with four crew members on board. After landing on runway 07L at Hong Kong-Chek Lap Kok Airport, the crew initiated the braking procedure. While decelerating to a speed of about 100 knots, the airplane veered off runway to the left, struck a ground service vehicle located on the perimeter road, went through the perimeter fence and plunged into the sea at a speed of 60 knots, coming to rest broken in two. All four crew members were rescued while both employees in the ground vehicle were killed. Preliminary data suggest that the engine n°4 was still accelerating to 106% N1 forward thrust after all selected thrust reversers were stowed. Number 1, 2 and 3 engine thrust levers were closed with reverse thrust levers selected to maximum while the n°4 engine reverse thrust lever was fully forward.
