[edit] Incidents and accidents
On 12 February 2000, a Transafrik cargo Boeing 727 crashed upon landing on runway 23. Due to high winds gusting to between 50 and 80 knots, the aircraft had executed a missed approach, and upon the landing flare of the second attempt, witnesses saw the right wing touch the ground.
On May 25, 2003, a Boeing 727-223 with the registration number N844AA, which had been parked at the airport for over a year, was stolen in mysterious circumstances.
On 29 June 2009, a British Airways Boeing 777-200 was damaged after a collision with another aircraft while it was parked.[1]
