Incidents and accidents




A Brit Air Fokker 100 at EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg (2010).


On 22 June 2003, Air France Flight 5672(fr) from Nantes to Brest, which was operated by a Brit Air CRJ100, crashed 2.3 miles short of the runway when attempting to land at Brest Bretagne Airport at 23:55 local time, resulting in the death of the captain. The aircraft involved (registered F-GRJS) subsequently caught fire (after all 21 passengers on board had been evacuated) and was damaged beyond repair. The most probable cause of the accident was declared to be pilot error, as the instrument approach had not been executed correctly.[7][8]
