An AerCaribe Antonov 32 on a cargo flight from Lima landed on runway 06 at Iquitos on 14 October 2020 and veered off to the left. It lost its right wing, broke in two and a fire broke out that was quickly put out. All four crew members were slightly injured. The Peruvian investigation attributed the accident to loss of directional control caused by asymmetric propeller thrust after landing.
