The aircraft departed Nairobi-Wilson Airport on a cargo flight to Guriceel, Somalia, carrying three crew members and a load of khat. After landing, the airplane encountered difficulties to decelerate properly and was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, contacted rough terrain, lost its nose and left main gear before coming to rest. There was no fire. All three occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
