- Date: January 20, 1998
- Aircraft: BAe Jetstream 31
- Location: Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada

An Alberta Citylink Jetstream 31 on scheduled flight ABK933 from Calgary landed heavily at Lloydminster after an unstabilized approach. The left main gear collapsed, both propellers struck the runway, and the aircraft slid and turned about 160 degrees. Everyone evacuated through the over-wing exit with no injuries and no fire.
