On 2 February 2015 a Sky Express BAe Jetstream 41 (SX DIA) flying scheduled flight SEH100 from Heraklion landed at Rhodes Diagoras in strong, shifting winds after ATC had advised against landing. During the rollout the left main landing gear collapsed, the left wing and engine dropped and the aircraft stopped at the left edge of the runway. None of the 19 occupants were injured, and the Greek AAIASB found the approach was significantly unstable and the landing exceeded operating limits.
