Boeing 727-200

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. All occupants escaped uninjured.

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. It is believed that the airplane was still operated with the registration N726CK while registered to a Kenyan Operator with 7Q registration (Malawi).

Following a cargo flight from Juba, the airplane crashed upon landing at Malakal Airport. It veered off runway and eventually collided with a parked MD-82 registered 5Y-AXL that suffered an accident at the same airport last February 9. The airplane was destroyed and all seven occupants were rescued.
