- Date: December 31, 1994
- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-76
- Location: Sarajevo, East Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew flew the approach at too high an altitude to avoid hostile fire, which left too little runway for landing on a wet surface in poor weather.
A Belair Ilyushin Il-76 cargo flight from Luxembourg landed at Sarajevo in strong winds and rain. It touched down too far along the runway, could not stop in the remaining distance, overran and hit military installations near the airport. All six crew escaped unhurt, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
