- Date: November 1, 1993
- Aircraft: Cessna 402
- Location: Kinna, Isiolo, Kenya
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Fuel starvation and loss of engine power in poor visibility, with an unfamiliar airstrip and insufficient fuel for both engines.
A Cessna 402 on a charter toward Beledweyne diverted to Kinna airstrip in Meru Park to take on fuel. In heavy rain and poor visibility the left engine failed on a go-around, and the pilot later lost the right engine as well. He force-landed in the bush near the airstrip, and the sole passenger survived.
