Incidents

The machine caught fire and was destroyed. On a transfer flight from Kisangani and Entebbe, a stopover was made in Luxor due to a lack of kerosene due to a fuel leak. All five crew members were killed, one from Russia and two each from Ukraine and Belarus. The aircraft with the fuel leak was operated illegally, with a license that had expired four years earlier (see also Aerolift flight 1015 ) .
