Accident Overview
On 3 June 2016 at 1120 hours, a Fokker 27/Mk600 aircraft, registration 5Y-FMM, operated by Safari Express Cargo Ltd on behalf of the World Food Programme, was conducting a cargo flight from Mogadishu to Garbaharrey Airport. During the landing phase, the aircraft struck an obstacle approximately 2 meters high while on short final approach. The impact caused the right main landing gear to collapse upon touchdown.

All four crew members on board evacuated the aircraft safely. The aircraft sustained damage beyond economic repair. No other injuries or fatalities were reported in the source.
