Accidents and incidents

[edit]
  • 26 December 1974: A Grumman American G-1159 Gulfstream II (5V-TAA) of the Togolese government crashed on approach to Lome from Niamey, killing 3 of the 6 occupants (the 3 crew were killed, but all 3 passengers survived). The plane was returning from a flight carrying Nigerien president Seyni Kountche back to Niger. The presidential jet was a replacement for a Douglas C-47 lost in January 1974.[17]
  • 22 October 1977: a Lockheed L-749A-79-52 Constellation (N273R) of Lanzair, a stationary British cargo airline, was destroyed by fire.[18]
  • 2 February 2008: a Boeing 747-2D7B (N527MC) on Atlas Air Flight 14 (Lome-Amsterdam) had its cargo break loose during takeoff, breaking through the bulkhead and causing severe damage which led to the plane being written off.[19]
