Cazombo

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Lobito to Cazombo with an intermediate stop in Luena. On final approach to Cazombo Airport, the crew realized the runway was too short and too narrow when both wings hit bushes upon landing. After touchdown, the crew was informed about the presence of landmines in the airfield and decided to take off immediately. While turning to do so, the right main gear struck a pothole and collapsed, causing the propeller of the engine n°4 to struck the ground. The aircraft came to rest and all six occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft was not repaired.

On approach to Cazombo, the aircraft was shot down by a Stinger surface-to-air missile and crashed few km from Cazombo Airport. All 43 occupants were killed, among them 37 civilians.

Six passengers were injured while 42 other occupants were killed.
