Accidents and incidents

• On 12 April 1998 at 08:48 UTC, the Boeing 737-200 of Orient Eagle Airways (registered P4-NEN) overran the runway at Almaty International Airport in a bad-weather landing. The right main landing gear collapsed, by which the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. All 80 passengers and 8 crew members on board survived.[4]
