Three incidents occurred during the operation of the Régional. In one of them a person was killed and the machine had to be written off:
- On 25 January 2007 should Fokker 100 Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne (F-GMPG) the Air France flight 7775 from airport Pau Pyrenees to Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle perform. After taking off, the machine leaned 35 degrees to the left, then 67 degrees to the right and again 59 degrees to the left. As a result of the flight maneuvers, the machine fell back onto the runway from an altitude of 32 meters and jumped up again when it touched down. At a speed of 160 knots (300 km / h), the captain decided to abort the take-off. The machine touched down again. The thrust was taken back, the machine rolled 300 meters over the runway, broke through the airport fence and crossed a country road behind it. The left main landing gear tore open the cab of a truck and the driver was killed. The machine then slid across a field, with both main landing gears being torn off. The causes of the accident were hoarfrost on the wings and excessive rotation (lifting of the nose) (see also Air France flight 7775 ) .
