On 18 March 2016 a Beechcraft C90 King Air (PP JBL) on a business flight from Teresina diverted to Oeiras airfield because of deteriorating weather at Floriano. After landing on the wet runway 11 the aircraft skidded, control was lost, and it left the runway and stopped about 10 metres from it in trees. Seven passengers and the pilot escaped, with one passenger slightly injured.
