The airplane departed Marseille-Marignane Airport at 0450LT bound for Barcelona. About half an hour later, the pilot encountered foggy conditions with limited visibility. He reduced his altitude in an attempt to establish a visual contact with the ground when the aircraft hit an obstacle and crashed, bursting into flames. The passenger was seriously injured and the pilot Francis Simon was killed.

The aircraft departed Algiers at 0645LT bound for Marseille. En route, while cruising 75 km off the Balearic Islands, the crew encountered engine problems and was forced to ditch the aircraft. Both uninjured aviators were rescued at 1330LT by the crew of the ship named 'Timgad'. The aircraft sank and was lost.

En route from Marseille to Algiers, the engine failed, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft some 165 kilometers off Algiers at 0930LT. The crew was able to converse until 1155LT when the radio contact was lost. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended on December 17 as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. An empty liferaft was found few days later some 30 kilometers west of Algiers. On January 18, 1932, a herdsman found the dead body of the pilot on a beach located near Philippeville.

Few minutes before its scheduled arrival at Geneva-Cointrin Airport, the crew encountered poor visibility due to heavy snow falls. Too low, the three engine aircraft named 'Düsseldorf' impacted trees and crashed in a dense wooded area located in the Maladières, north of Gex. The wreckage was found near the road to the Faucille Pass. All six occupants were injured, two crew seriously.

The crew encountered strong headwinds all along the flight from Algiers to Marseille. After overflying Cape of Creus in Catalonia, both engines failed due to fuel exhaustion. The crew ditched the aircraft off Banyuls-sur-Mer, Pyrénées Orientales. The crew of the Spanish cargo named 'Stella' was quickly on the scene but during the towing operations, the float plane sank and the radio navigator Bossard drowned. The pilot Edmond Larbonne and the mechanic were rescued.

An unknown technical failure forced the crew to attempt an emergency landing in Saint-Gilles, south of Nimes. While both occupants were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The pilot was Louis Roidot.

The seaplane departed Marseille on a schedule service to Barcelona, carrying two passengers and a crew of four. AT 0940LT, the radio navigator sent a message to report his position off Cape of Creus, northeast of Empuriabrava. It seems the aircraft disappeared shortly later in unknown circumstances. No trace of the float plane nor the crew was ever found.
