Safety history

  • December 22, 1997Accident

    The aircraft departed Abidjan on a cargo flight to Rundu, Namibia. While cruising along the Angolan coast, the crew contacted ATC when he was apparently forced to divert to Angola for control purposes. It is believed that the crew refused to divert to Angola and continued his route. Eventually, the decision to shut the aircraft down was taken by the Angolan Army. The aircraft crashed in the Atlantic Ocean off the Angolan coast, killing all 11 occupants. Probable cause (official findings): Shot
