An unusual incident occurred in Tanzania when two aircrafts skidded off a runway at Kikobaga airstrip in Mikumi National Park on the same day of November 29, creating panic among the passengers. The first plane travelling with about 30 passengers from Zanzibar to Kikoboga veered off the runway due to technical glitch as it attempted to make a landing on airstrip. The Unity Air Zanzibar Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia (registered 5H-MJH) halted, supported by its nose gear, the fuselage's underbelly, and both wings, thereby averting a major accident. About six hours later, in the evening another Unity Air Embraer EMB-120ER Brasilia (registered 5H-FLM), carrying the same number of passengers while travelling from Kikoboga to Zanzibar suffered a nose gear collapse. The aircraft skidded off the runway and reportedly hit a building. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from both the accidents.
