En route from Mombasa to Mogadishu, while in cruising altitude over the Indian Ocean, the crew contacted ATC and declared an emergency following an explosion in the cargo compartment. The crew initiated an emergency descent and elected to divert to the nearest airport when control was lost. The aircraft crashed in the sea about 200 metres offshore, some 7 km from Malindi. Six crew members were rescued while eight others were killed.

The aircraft was engaged in a humanitarian flight on behalf of Unicef. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing, it went out of control and crashed on a parking lot. It was destroyed and all four occupants were injured.

On final approach to Nairobi-Wilson Airport runway 07, during the last segment, the twin engine airplane lost height and landed hard. It bounced and landed hard a second time, causing the nose gear to collapse while taxiing for the apron. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were good but strong winds were reported.

Shortly after takeoff from Nairobi-Wilson Airport, while in initial climb, the front cargo door opened. The pilot landed back on runway but was unable to stop the airplane within the remaining distance. The aircraft overran and eventually came to rest. The pilot was unhurt and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Sole on board, the pilot was completing a cargo flight.

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.

During the takeoff roll, the nose gear collapsed. The aircraft slid for few dozen metres, overran, collided with a fence and came to rest in a ditch, bursting into flames. Both pilots were injured.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 06 at Nairobi-Eastleigh Airport (Moi Air Base), while in initial climb, the left engine failed and its propeller autofeathered. The captain contacted ATC, declared an emergency and was cleared to turn left. Following a left hand circuit, the crew again turned to the left and prepared to land on runway 06 when the aircraft entered an area of low clouds. The crew momentarily lost visual contact with the runway when the aircraft stalled and crashed onto several houses located in the district of Kaloleni, less than 2 km short of runway 06 threshold. The aircraft and few houses were destroyed. All 46 occupants as well as 6 people on the ground were killed.

Suffered an accident upon landing on an airport somewhere in the Masai Mara National Reserve. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Reserve, the pilot declared an emergency and informed ATC he collided with a bird. Shortly later, the twin engine aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a prairie. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all seven occupants were killed, among them six German tourists. A tip tank and an aileron struck by the bird (a Marabu stork) were found more than one km from the main wreckage.

En route from Mombasa to Kichwa Tembo, the pilot was informed that a DC-3 suffered a mishap upon landing at Musiara Airstrip and apparently decided to make a low pass to show the scene to the passengers. While approaching the airfield at an altitude of 250 feet, the aircraft collided with a white-backed vulture who went through the windshield and killed the pilot instantly. Control was lost and the aircraft crashed in an open field, bursting into flames. All nine occupants were killed.
