- Date: March 17, 2000
- Aircraft: Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante

An Skypower Express Embraer Bandeirante on a charter from Abuja to Jos was diverted to Kaduna after power problems on the starboard engine. The crew attempted a single-engine approach with the starboard propeller not feathered, and the speed decayed while the aircraft was still low and configured for landing. It stalled and crashed into a VOR/DME site under construction near the runway, with no fatalities.
