On 11 November 2010, an Antonov An-24 passenger aircraft of Tarco Air on a domestic service from Khartoum to Zalingei, Sudan, crashed on landing at Zalingei Airport, bursting into flames on the runway.

[3][4] The airplane had departed Khartoum International Airport at 13:27 on 11 November and, after a stopover at Nyala, arrived at Zalingei at 16:18, finding good weather conditions.

Fuel from the ruptured wings ignited, and the resulting fire consumed most of the wreckage.

[1] The aircraft involved was a twin-turboprop Antonov An-24 with Sudanese registration ST-ARQ.

[1] The SAAICD attributed the accident to the flight crew's poor performance and co-ordination in executing the landing.
