Embraer ERJ-145LR

AirJet Angola

AirJet Angola flight MBC100, an Embraer ERJ-145LR, suffered an accident during landing on runway 29 at Kolwezi Airport (KWZ) in the Democratic Republic of Congo. All passengers and crew were evacuated safely. The aircraft was partly consumed by fire. The aircraft had been chartered by the DRC Ministère des mines to fly a government delegation to Kolwezi following a fatal mining accident there. The flight had departed Kinshasa-N'Djiili and made a stopover at Lubumbashi (FBM). Due to construction work, the threshold of KWZ runway 29 was displaced by 1000m at the time of the accident. Video shows the aircraft touching down in the normal touchdown zone of runway 29 and rolling into the area under construction, losing at least one of the main landing gears in the process.
