What happened
On November 12, 2009, at approximately 1115 UTC, a Bombardier CL600-2B19 operated by Rwandair was involved in an accident at Kigali International Airport in Rwanda. The aircraft, registration 5Y-JLD, had departed Kigali for Entebbe, Uganda, at 1054 UTC but requested to return to the airport due to a reported technical problem.
After a second landing attempt, the aircraft taxied toward a parking area. During this phase, the aircraft began taxiing at a high rate of speed and veered to the right, eventually impacting the airport's control tower building. There were 15 people on board, including 10 passengers and 5 crew members (two pilots, two cabin crew, and one engineer). The accident resulted in 1 fatality.
