Accidents and incidents
  • On 30 October 2005, Trade Air Flight 729 crashed near Bergamo, Italy, shortly after taking off in poor weather. The flight was a night-time cargo flight from Bergamo to Zagreb operated by a Let L-410 Turbolet with the registration 9A-BTA. All three people on board, two pilots and a passenger, were killed.[17]
  • On 5 August 2016, during the night, Boeing 737-476 (SF) registered HA-FAX, operated by ASL Airlines Hungary, overshot while landing on runway 28 in Bergamo and came to a stop on a parking lot and on a secondary highway lane that is around the airport, 300 m from the runway end. No one was injured, but some cars were destroyed and the plane sustained substantial damages. The plane was removed from the street the same day. The air traffic remained unvaried without delays.[18]

gollark: I mean, it's a chat thing, I wouldn't call it a forum.
gollark: Bees approach.
gollark: No, this is also not possible unless you just somehow reverse the last bit.
gollark: Well, we can brute force each bit separately I think.
