Two occurrences are reported to have occurred on 17 July 2007 at Bandundu. The reports may refer to the same occurrence with factual errors: • In one report, a
Let-410UVP, tail number 9Q-CIM of Cargo Bull Aviation suffered a
bird strike and crashed with no injuries but aircraft written off. • In the other report an
Antonov (either an
An-24 or
An-32) that had stopped en route from
Kinshasa N'Dolo Airport to
Nioki Airport lost its number 1 engine during initial climb and crashed from Bandundu with substantial damage but no injuries. Another report has this occurring the next day with a minor injury to an
Austrian pilot. Another identifies the operator as Malift Air, the date as 18 July, the failure as an engine explosion during landing, and the aircraft destroyed. In 2010, a Let-410 of
Filair crashed near the airfield. ==See also==
