The Jubba Airways flight departed Shatigadud International Airport, in Baidoa, Somalia, on a 138-mile (120 nmi; 222 km) domestic flight to Aden Adde International Airport, in Mogadishu, Somalia. While landing on runway 5 in calm winds, the left wing struck the ground at 11:28 am (EAT) and separated at the root causing the aircraft to roll over and skid off the runway. A small fire broke out but was quickly extinguished by airport firefighters. Soldiers from the 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade of the United States Army were present at the time of the crash conducting medical training and swiftly helped administer aid and evacuate the 16 injured passengers to hospitals for treatment.[2] There were no fatalities. The Somali Civil Aviation Authority has opened an investigation into the crash which concluded that windshear's of 18 knots from the south-south-west were present and likely contributed to the pilots losing control.[3] the investigation is still ongoing.[4][5]
The accident aircraft was a 30-year-old Fokker 50 with the registration number 5Y-JXN. The aircraft was sold to Jubba Airways in 2017. It was previously operated by seven different airlines and the United Nations.[6]
