It had its first flight on 20 June 1980. The aircraft was chartered from 748 Air Services by the International Organization for Migration, tail number 5Y-HAJ. Global Airlift owned the plane. ==Incident== The flight was operating an humanitarian aid cargo flight from Juba to Bentiu during the South Sudanese conflict. The aircraft was on approach to land at Bentiu Airport when it crash-landed. The plane touched down too fast, causing it to veer off the runway, run across a ditch and strike two parked vehicles. As a result the aircraft broke up and shortly afterwards caught fire. One crew member died and three others on board were injured. This was the first commercial aviation accident in South Sudan since the country became independent in 2011. A witness on the ground reported that the aircraft was attempting an unstabilized approach at high speed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farsnews )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Another plane crash in South Sudan )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=allAfrica.com: South Sudan: Cargo Plane Crashes in Unity State, One Killed )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Aviation Herald )〕 The crash resulted in hull loss.〔〔 == Reaction == David Derthick, IOM South Sudan Chief of Mission said, "We are very saddened by this tragic accident," and added that the crew of the plane has been important in helping some of "South Sudan's most vulnerable people."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 748 Air Services HS 748 crash」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
