The aircraft was delivered to Smart Aviation Company in 2011 with registration SU-SMH and was leased to Biman Bangladesh Airlines in April 2015.

When the aircraft rolled out for landing, for unknown reasons it deviated from its course and veered off the 2.1-mile long runway into the grass next to it.

The plane sustained serious damage and was declared a hull loss, but no fire broke out, and there were no fatalities.

The final report concluded that the flight crew had failed to initiate a go-around following an unstabilized approach.

The runway excursion was caused by the flight crew switching the propellers into beta range mode.
