What happened
During a humanitarian operation flying over Katanga, an aircraft leased from Transair Sweden was targeted by enemy gunfire. The impact of the fire forced the crew to execute an emergency descent. While attempting to manage the situation, the crew successfully performed an emergency landing in a prairie area, though the aircraft ultimately crash landed.
As a result of the incident, there were two fatalities among the passengers. The remaining eight people on board escaped without injuries. Due to the severity of the damage sustained during the attack and subsequent crash, the airframe was declared a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the event concluded that the primary reason for the crash was that the plane was shot down by enemy fire while operating in the conflict zone.
