- Aircraft: Fokker F27 Friendship
- Location: Paris-Roissy-CDG, Val-d'Oise, France

On 25 October 2013 a MiniLiner Fokker F27 flying a night mail service from Paris-CDG to Dole-Jura lost its left propeller shortly after takeoff while climbing through about 1,000 ft. The detached blade and propeller struck the left side of the fuselage and opened a large hole. The crew declared an emergency and returned, landing safely less than ten minutes later with both pilots unhurt; the aircraft was written off.
