The airplane departed Leipzig-Halle Airport at 0308LT on a cargo service (flight BCS18D) to Vilnius on behalf of DHL Airways, carrying two passengers and two crew members. On final approach to Vilnius Airport at night and marginal weather conditions, the airplane descended too low and crashed into houses, bursting into flames. The wreckage was found about 1,400 metres short of runway 19. A pilot was killed and three other occupants were injured. The airplane was totally destroyed.

The aircraft departed Copenhagen-Kastrup AIrport on a flight to Palanga with 48 passengers and a crew of 4 on board. Following an uneventful flight, the crew started the descent. At an altitude of about 2,000 feet, the crew selected the landing gear down. However, the right-hand main gear extended but did not lock down and the landing gear doors did not close. The approach was abandoned and the crew initiated a go-around. During the second attempt to land, the crew recycled the system but the warning remained so the decision was taken to divert to Vilnius. On approach, the crew attempted to release the undercarriage using a backup system, but the undercarriage control panel still showed an unsafe warning. The right engine was shut down and the propeller was feathered prior to landing. Upon touchdown, the right main gear collapsed. The aircraft veered off runway and came to rest 40 metres further, some 1,150 metres pas the runway threshold. All 52 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Panevėžys-Pajuostis AFB consisting of touch-and-go. After 14 minutes into the mission, the crew completed a touch-and-go then initiated a climb when, at an altitude of 230 feet, the aircraft entered clouds when control was lost. It went in a nose down attitude, descended with a rate of 7,800 feet per minute and crashed at a speed of 275 knots in a wooded area located 3,7 km from the airbase. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all eight crew members were killed. All four engine were turning at full power at impact.

Crash landed in a field near Kaunas following an in-flight fire in the cockpit for unknown reasons.

The airplane was engaged in a spraying mission on behalf of the sovkhoz of Vidiskes. In the afternoon, the captain decided to takeoff without the copilot but with two technicians and one engineer. After takeoff, the captain elected to contact ATC in Vilnius but this was not possible as the aircraft's altitude was insufficient (between 150 and 200 meters). Shortly later, the airplane went out of control and struck the ground at high speed. It bounced and crashed 98 meters further in a snow covered field. The captain was seriously injured while all three passengers were killed.

The engine failed en route, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed and was damaged beyond repair. There were no casualties.

On a crop praying flight for the state horse farm "Nemunas" at Pagėgiai (Šilute district of Lithuania), the single engine airplane collided with a high voltage power line near Pagėgiai while flying against the low sun at a height of 20 meters. The airplane stalled and crashed in flames 130 metres further. It was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. Both pilots were seriously injured but the copilot died from his injuries in the evening.

En route, the aircraft suffered an engine failure, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing near Vilnius. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a training mission with other similar aircraft. While cruising by night in marginal weather conditions, the crew lost visual contact with the leader. While trying to regain contact, the airplane lost height then struck the ground and crashed in a field. The flight engineer was injured while six other crew members were killed.
