On 19 September 2020, Fokker 50 5Y-MHT of Silverstone Air Services (msn 20171 and chartered by Somali company Saacid Airlines) suffered a runway excursion at Mogadishu Aden Abdulle Banaadir Airport's runway 05, Somalia, and collided with a concrete perimeter wall, rendering the Fokker a total write off. It operated a cargo flight to Beledweyne.
 
After take-off the flight crew elected to turn back to Mogadishu Airport, reportedly due to a hydraulics problem. Both pilots sustained serious injuries as a result of the impact, two others were uninjured. Locals report the captain was trapped in the cockpit for a while until rescuers were able to free him.
