- Aircraft: Beechcraft 99 Airliner

Frontier Air Flight 1602, a Beechcraft C99 Airliner (C-GFAW), was flying a scheduled Timmins to Moosonee service on 30 April 1990. It broke out of low cloud during a visual approach to runway 24 and flew into trees, killing one occupant, the copilot. The aircraft was destroyed by impact and the fire that followed.
