Incidents and accidents
- On 15 July 2010, a Prince Aviation Cessna 550 Citation II YU-BSG overrun the runway while landing at Bol Airport.

The aircraft overshot touchdown zone, couldn't stop by the end of the runway, penetrated the aerodrome fence and end up in stone area. As result of contact with rocks, aircraft's right leg collapsed, and right wing caught fire. The three crew members and two passengers escaped serious injury.
