- Date: October 19, 2017
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Nuevo Saposoa, Ucayali, Peru
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: CIAA (per ASN and BAAA): Double engine failure from fuel starvation. Contributing factors were fuel quantity indicators that failed repeatedly and were never calibrated by maintenance, departure with a fuel indication system inoperative, and crew complacency after the first engine failure.
An Air Majoro Super King Air on a charter from Contamana to Pucallpa lost its right engine after takeoff, restarted it, then lost both engines from fuel starvation about 42 km short of Pucallpa. It crashed in trees near Nuevo Saposoa and was destroyed. Sources disagree on the number of injured and whether one occupant died later in hospital.
