Updated on
The Boeing 737-300 freighter operated by Serve Air Cargo took off from an unknown point of origin to Kinshasa N'djili, DR Congo. The plane veered off the runway while landing at Kinshasa airport. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
While descending through approximately 11,000 feet on approach to Kinshasa airport, the plane experienced a failure in its left engine, which was then shut down. Despite this, the aircraft proceeded to land. Upon engaging the right engine's reverser, the plane veered off to the right side of the runway and came to a halt on soft ground with all its landing gear. Fortunately, there were no injuries. However, the aircraft sustained significant damage, including the right engine being completely detached and the left engine suffering extensive damage.
The aircraft involved in the accident had been in service since 1991. It had been acquired by Serve Air in November 2020.
