An Omni Air 767 operating a flight from Kabul-Hamid Karzai International Airport (KBL/OAKB) to Washington DC USA with a refueling stop at Bucharest Baneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU/LRBS) has crashed on landing at Bucharest. Shortly after touchdown on runway 07, the left main landing gear collapsed, causing the No.1 engine to skid across the runway. The aircraft came to a full stop on the runway. All 80 passengers on board were evacuated. The passengers on board the plane were disembarked using slides from emergency exits on the right side. The runway of Baneasa airport was closed until 16:00 Saturday at the latest and the planes due to land there were rerouted to Otopeni airport.
The aircraft was ordered by Continental Air Lines but was never taken up. It started its life with our very own Ansett Australia on the 25th April 1996 as VH-BZF. When Ansett collapsed on the 11th September 2001 the aircraft was then taken up by North American Airlines before joining Omni in 2014. Its first flight was on the 12th January 1996, making it 24 yrs old.
This is the very first incident for this aircraft.
