On Nov 24th 2008, an Air Niamey Boeing 757 crashed on takeoff when the left main gear collapsed, reportedly causing the airplane to drop onto its left engine. There were 307 pilgrims on board, but none were reported injured.

As a result of this, the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority suspended all flying operations for three months, and only reinstated them under strict control.
