- Date: October 19, 1994
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 90 King Air
- Location: Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France
- Fatalities: 7
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's poor judgment of the flight conditions during the last turn. The operator lacked a public transport authorization, and the lack of operating procedures and training oversight was a contributing factor.
The charter King Air was approaching Saumur runway 28 visually because of low stratus, and it came down with a high descent rate. It struck the runway, slid onto its left side and caught fire. All seven aboard were killed.
