Poor visibility and rain forced a Cape Verde Air Transport Fairchild Dornier 228-200 to break off an approach to Santa Antao, Cape Verde Islands, on 7 August. The aircraft (D4-CBC) appears to have hit high ground shortly afterwards, killing both crew and all 16 passengers.
On 28 July, on a night final approach to Rhodes, Greece, a Fairchild Metro III (SX-BGG) ditched 1,000m (3,280ft) short of the runway, after reported loss of power on both engines. The aircraft operator is unconfirmed, but both crew survived.
