On 19 June 2010, a CASA C-212 Aviocar transport aircraft crashed on a flight from Yaoundé, Cameroon, to Yangadou, Republic of the Congo, killing all eleven people on board.
On 19 June 2010, Cam Iron – Sundance's Cameroon subsidiary – chartered a CASA C-212 Aviocar from Aéro-Service to fly their board members from Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, to the remote mining town of Yangadou, Republic of the Congo.
[1] The Aviocar was chartered because the company's private jet was too large to operate into the destination airfield.
[3] A search for the aircraft was carried out by the French Military, and the Cameroon Government, using a Transall C-160 and a Eurocopter AS 532 Cougar helicopter.
The wreckage of the aircraft was found on 22 June at Dima, 30 kilometres (19 mi) short of its destination and near the regional capital Djoum, Cameroon.
