On 28 January 1986 it ran off the end of the taxiway from which it mistakenly tried to take off, and collided with an embankment, killing one passenger and injuring nine others.

[1][2] The aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-2A1, tail number PP-SME, that was 16 years and 7 months old.

At a speed of around 135 knots (250 km/h; 155 mph), take-off was aborted and braking was applied.

[1] A combination of intense fog, and pilot's lack of knowledge with the new airport's runway and taxiway configuration caused the crash.

A large factor in the incident was also the lack of ground radar and taxiway vehicles.
