Accident


The aircraft was destroyed by fire after landing at Wau Airport, South Sudan on a domestic scheduled passenger flight from Juba Airport, South Sudan. There were 40 passengers, plus five crew on board.[1] The accident occurred at about 15:00 local time (12:00 UTC),[3] in conditions of 800 metres (870 yd) visibility.[2][4] The aircraft may already have been on fire when it landed. An eyewitness reported smoke coming from the tail as it was landing.[5] Another report is that the aircraft collided with a fire engine after it had landed, and then caught fire.[2] The left landing gear collapsed and the aircraft was destroyed by the ensuing fire.
