On 11 June 1999 hit obstacles when taking off from an airstrip at Kukes, Albania, slowed and veered to the right, suffering severe damage to its right wing before stopping. Fuel leakage from the damaged wing ignited and the subsequent fire destroyed much of the aircraft. No injuries to the 15 crew and passengers.
