What happened
A charter flight operating from Libreville to Moanda, transporting staff from the Société d’Électricité et d’Énergie du Gabon (S.E.E.G.), ended in an accident during its approach. As the twin engine aircraft prepared for landing, the crew received clearance to descend to an altitude of 4,100 feet. During this phase of the flight, the aircraft encountered heavy fog, which significantly reduced visibility.
While on short final approach, the aircraft impacted the terrain approximately 1,600 metres before reaching runway 14. The impact resulted in three fatalities, including the pilot, and seven injuries among the remaining occupants.
