Air Mauritanie Flight 625

Air Mauritanie Flight 625 was a Fokker F28 Fellowship 4000 which crashed on landing at Tidjikja Airport, Mauritania on 1 July 1994 in sandstorm conditions.

[1][2] The aircraft involved was a Fokker F28-4000 Fellowship (serial number 11092) that had its maiden flight on 3 July 1975.

On 27 April 1979, the aircraft was leased to Libyan Arab Airlines (the registration remained the same).

On 26 February 1980 the plane was leased to Pars Air, and the registration was changed to EP-PBG.

The F28 had made several approaches to the airport before making a heavy landing, which caused the front undercarriage to collapse and the aircraft to slide off the runway, crash into a rocky outcrop and burst into flames.
