Incidents and accidents
On 15 September 2015, a Piper PA-31 Navajo with two crew and six passengers crashed 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Thompson, Manitoba airport shortly after takeoff. All eight people were transported to hospital. The crash was caused by the refueller mistakenly filling the plane with jet fuel, instead of the required avgas.
In 2012, a Piper PA-31 carrying five passengers stalled on final approach and crashed near North Spirit Lake First Nation, Ontario due to adverse weather and icing conditions. The aircraft was destroyed and four passengers (including the pilot) were killed, while one passenger sustained serious injuries.
In 2002, a Piper PA-31-350 ran out of fuel and crashed at an intersection in Winnipeg, Manitoba after a missed approach to Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport runway 36. All seven passengers and several occupants in a vehicle on the ground were injured in the crash, and one passenger subsequently died from injuries.
