The twin engine airplane crashed upon landing at Malakal Airport following a special flight from Maban on behalf of the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service. It is believed that the airplane impacted obstacles upon takeoff from Maban Airport, causing both main landing gears to be sheared off. All 38 occupants were rescued.

Following a cargo flight from Juba, the airplane crashed upon landing at Malakal Airport. It veered off runway and eventually collided with a parked MD-82 registered 5Y-AXL that suffered an accident at the same airport last February 9. The airplane was destroyed and all seven occupants were rescued.

On final approach to Malakal Airport, the airplane was too low, causing both main landing gears to touch the ground about two metres short of runway 04 threshold. Upon impact, both landing gears sheared off and the airplane slid on its belly for few hundred metres before coming to rest in the middle of the runway. Both pilots escaped unharmed. According to locals, the airplane was en route from Juba to pick up returnees who had fled Sudan’s war from Malakal to Juba and had no passengers on board.

After liftoff from Nasir Airfield, the single engine airplane encountered difficulties to gain height. It rolled to the right, impacted terrain and crashed in an open field, bursting into flames.

After touchdown on runway 33 at Maban Airport, South Sudan, the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance and overran. It lost its undercarriage and came to rest, bursting into flames. All crew members evacuated safely and the aircraft was totally destroyed by a post crash fire. The crew was completing a cargo flight on behalf of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The crew was performing a flight from Malakal to Wau on behalf of the World Food Program. Shortly after takeoff, during initial climb, an unexpected situation forced the captain to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft crash landed in a field past the runway end, slid for few dozen metres and came to rest, bursting into flames. All four crew members evacuated safely and the aircraft was totally destroyed by a post crash fire.

The single engine airplane suffered an accident upon landing at Mandeng Airfield. The undercarriage were torn off and the aircraft was severely damaged. There were no casualties.

The aircraft was completing a humanitarian flight to Doro Airfield, South Sudan, carrying four crew members and a load consisting of food.

All four occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed.

On final approach to Doro Airport, while performing a cargo flight, the aircraft impacted ground short of runway and came to rest. All three crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft departed Khartoum at 0555LT on a cargo flight to Juba with 8 crew members on board. While cruising at FL170 in bad weather conditions, the engines n° 1 failed. One minute later, the engine n°3 failed as well, followed 40 seconds later by the failure of the engine n°4. The aircraft initiated a descent with a rate of 3,450 feet per minute and reach the altitude of 800 feet three minutes and 40 seconds after the failure of the engine n°1. At an altitude of 600 feet, the crew stabilized the aircraft and elected to restart the three engines but without success. Too low, the aircraft struck trees, lost its left stabilizer and crashed in a prairie 264 metres past the initial impact, bursting into flames. A crew member was rescued while 7 other occupants were killed.
