On 8 January 1996, an Air Africa Antonov An-32 aircraft (RA-26222) which had been wet-leased by Moscow Airways to Scibe Airlift crashed into a market shortly after taking off from N'Dolo Airport in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing approximately 300 people (see 1996 Air Africa crash).[1] At the time, the Russian Ministry of Transport had "suspended or withdrawn" Moscow Airways' air operator's license.[2]
