The aircraft was flying back to Paraná (Argentina) with an intermediate stop at Santa Cruz with 3 military personnel and 3 technicians and board. They came in La Paz to deliver humanitarian aids after important flood in Bolivia. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in an open field located 20 km from La Paz-El Alto Airport. All six occupants were killed.

A HS-748 suffered landing gear problems, causing the airplane to end up on its belly, blocking Lokichoggio's single 1800-metre runway 09/27. Three other light aircraft, a Dornier 228, an Antonov 28 and a Cessna 208, landed safely at the airfield on runway 27 after the HS-748 accident. Two Antonov 12 aircraft inbound to Lokichoggio from Torit, Southern Sudan, diverted to Juba upon getting information of the runway obstruction. Transafrik Hercules S9-BAS, flying for the United Nations World Food Programme, contacted Lokichoggio Tower at 14:30 hours. The aircraft was returning from a food air drop at Motot, Southern Sudan. The pilot was advised to divert to Eldoret International Airport but he opted to land at Lokichoggio. The Tower cleared the Hercules to land on runway 27 at the pilot’s discretion. The aircraft made a very heavy landing short of the runway and the top centre fuselage broke. The aircraft came to a stop about one kilometre from the touchdown point. Shortly before coming to a halt, the aircraft impacted the HS 748 with its right wing tip. The captain, the first officer, the flight engineer and the two loadmasters evacuated themselves safely. A repair crew started to work on S9-BAS on site at Lokichoggio in May 2006. The fuselage was repaired but the contractor left before repairs were completed. The airplane was seen in November 2008 parked at Lokichoggio without landing gear, engines and vertical stabilizer.

A 748 Air Services Hawker Siddeley Andover aircraft departed Lokichoggio Airport (LKG) at 08:40 hours for Boma, Southern Sudan. After Boma, the aircraft landed at Torit (HSTR) then Natinga, all in Southern Sudan, before proceeding back to Lokichoggio. The aircraft joined long final from the west of the airfield and was given instructions to land on runway 09. As soon as the aircraft touched down, the propellers struck the runway surface for some distance then the aircraft veered off the centerline to the left and came to a stop. The captain, the first officer and the loadmaster evacuated themselves. They were not injured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage, blocking Lokichoggio's single 1800-metre runway 09/27. Three other light aircraft, a Dornier 228, an Antonov 28 and a Cessna 208, landed safely at the airfield on runway 27 after the HS-748 accident.

On final approach to Kongolo Airport, the aircraft crashed on houses located 100 metres short of runway. All 10 occupants were injured while there were no casualties on the ground. The aircraft was completing a humanitarian mission from Goma with intermediate stops in Bukavu and Kindu on behalf of the French NGO "Solidarités". The leasing contract stipulated that no passengers were authorized to board.

The aircraft was chartered by a Sudanese Development Unit to deliver medics and other supplies to a school project in Ayod. Shortly after takeoff from Jiech Airport, while in initial climb, the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed. One pilot and five passengers were killed while four other occupants were injured. Both pilots were New Zealand's citizens. It seems that the cargo shifted after takeoff, causing the aircraft to stall and crash.

Following an uneventful flight from Bangui, the single engine aircraft bounced on landing. Out of control, it veered off runway and came to rest. All seven occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The four engine airplane was completing a humanitarian flight to Kisangani on behalf of 'Médecins Sans Frontières'. After touchdown, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest, bursting into flames. All seven crew members escaped uninjured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The aircraft was completing a humanitarian flight to Goma on behalf of the United Nations Organization. On final approach, at a distance of 1,000 metres from the runway threshold, the aircraft encountered windshear. The captain initiated a go-around procedure but the aircraft continued to descent until it struck the ground and crashed to the right of the runway. All 10 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Arriving from Rome, the aircraft chartered by the World Food Program was going to land at Pristina. The meteorological conditions at the aerodrome corresponded to visibility of 4,000 metres with a layer of compact clouds at 3,000 feet. In radar and radio contact with the military air traffic control organisation for an ILS approach, the aircraft, which was outbound to the north at an altitude of 4,600 feet, entered a sector where the minimum safety altitude is 6,900 feet and struck a mountain whose peak is at 4,650 while turning to return towards the airport. The wreckage was found about 15 metres below the summit, some 18 km northeast of Kosovska Mitrovica and 42 km north of Pristina Airport. All 24 occupants were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Huambo-Albano Machado Airport, while climbing, the four engine aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile and crashed about 20 km north of the airport near the village of Alto Chyumbu. All nine occupants were killed.
