Antonov AN-32

For unknown reasons, the aircraft landed hard at Chachapoyas Airport. Upon touchdown, the right main gear collapsed and the right wing struck the ground. Out of control, the aircraft veered off runway and came to rest few dozen metres further, bursting into flames. All 44 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed.

While on approach to Papaly Airport, the captain contacted ATC and requested that the approach lights intensity should be increased. Shortly later, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in the sea few km short of runway. All 63 occupants were killed.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Tyumen to Ufa, carrying seven passengers, six crew members, a car and a container. On approach to Ufa Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions (night, sleet and low clouds) and limited visibility. On short final, the aircraft struck trees 1,098 metres short of runway, lost height and crashed in a wooded area, some 179 metres to the right of the extended centerline, bursting into flames. Eight occupants were killed and five others were injured.

The aircraft departed Colombo-Ratmalana Airport on a flight to the Palaly AFB (Jaffna), carrying 70 soldiers and five crew members. Few minutes after takeoff, the crew declared an emergency and reported technical problems with the instruments. After being cleared to return, the pilot-in-command initiated a turn at an altitude of 8,000 feet when the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in the sea about 40 km north-northwest of Ratmalana Airport. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 75 occupants were killed. It was reported that weather conditions at the time of the accident were poor with thunderstorm activity.

The aircraft was completing a humanitarian flight on behalf of the United Nations and was carrying 28 passengers, 4 crew members and various goods. On short final, at low height, the aircraft nosed down and struck the ground few metres short of runway threshold. Out of control, the aircraft came to rest few dozen metres further. Fifteen occupants were injured, 16 others escaped uninjured and one passenger died.

On short final to Mitú-Fabio A. León Bentley Airport, the crew failed to realize his altitude was too low when the aircraft landed 8 metres short of runway. It bounced and landed a second time 300 metres past the runway threshold. Upon touchdown, the right main gear collapsed. Out of control, the aircraft veered off runway to the right, slid through the apron and eventually collided with a parked Satena PC-6, broken in two. All five crew members were injured as well as two technicians working on the PC-6.

Operated by Heliservicio on behalf of the Civil Security of Spain, the aircraft was leased from Antonov Design Bureau. That day, the crew was engaged in a fire fighting mission in the region of Banyeres de Mariola, in the Sierra de Mariola, about 90 km south of Valencia. The crew approached the fire zone at a too low altitude, dropped the water load too late, causing the aircraft to stall while trying to 'hop' over a mountain. The aircraft struck the ground and crashed some 10 metres below the summit. A crew member was seriously injured while five other occupants were killed.

While in cruising altitude, the aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile and crashed in the region of Logar. Twenty people survived while 50 others were killed.

The crew started the descent to Mazari Sharif Airport by night and poor weather conditions when the aircraft struck the slope of a mountain located near Samangan. The wreckage was found few hours later about 65 km southeast of Mazari Sharif. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 76 occupants were killed. All occupants were civilians flying to Mazari Sharif to commemorate the victory of Afghan rebels against the communist regime in place in Kabul.

Shortly after takeoff from Nairobi-Wilson, the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the Nairobi National Park, less than 4 km southwest of the airport. All four crew members were slightly injured.
