1995 Trans Service Airlift Electra crash

The Trans Service Airlift Lockheed L-188 crash occurred on 18 December 1995 when a Lockheed L-188C Electra owned by Trans Service Airlift crashed near Jamba, Angola, killing 141 of the passengers and crew.

Trans Service Airlift (TSA), was a private company headquartered at Ndjili Airport, Kinshasa.

Following the 1993 trade embargo on UNITA there were frequent "sanction busting" flights out of Zaire.

Some reports speculate that cargo may have slid to the back of the plane, resulting in a weight imbalance and causing the crash.

Initial reports by Zairean officials stated that the plane crashed near Cahungula, Lunda Norte Province, while transporting diamond miners from Zaire's capital, Kinshasa.
