Written off on December 24th 2015 following a runway overrun at Mbuji Mayi Airport in the Democratic Republic Of The Congo after a flight from Lubumbashi-Luano. Following an incident on August 19th 2015 where part of the runway broke up Congo Airways suspended flights from MJM on December 8th, and on December 20th the Congolese authorities concluded that the runway was poor but still serviceable. Four days later during a heavy rainstorm this aircraft was unable to stop and ended up hitting several dwellings located at the end of the runway resulting in 7 deaths on the ground.
