- Date: August 16, 2015
- Aircraft: ATR42-300
- Location: Oksibil, Special Region of Papua, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 54
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: KNKT (final report, December 2017, per Wikipedia and SKYbrary): controlled flight into terrain caused by the crew's decision to deviate from the projected flight path, with the EGPWS probably not functioning (its circuit breaker had been pulled) and the Oksibil approach chart judged wrong and hard to fly.
A Trigana Air Service ATR 42 300 on scheduled flight IL267 from Sentani to Oksibil, Papua, lost contact with Oksibil AFIS on 16 August 2015 and was found on a ridge of Tanggo Mountain at about 8,300 ft. All 54 people on board were killed and the aircraft was destroyed by impact and post impact fire. The KNKT final report (December 2017) found controlled flight into terrain after the crew deviated from its projected flight path, with the EGPWS probably disabled and an unsuitable approach chart.
