On impact in flat terrain only about 500 meters away from the beginning of runway 02, the aircraft caught fire and burned. Only the tail of the Do228 remained intact. There were no survivors. Weather conditions have been reported as clear skies with local mist and calm winds.

According to preliminary findings by the nepalese authorities, the a large bird (poss. eagle) collided with the right hand engine at an altitude of about 50 ft. The impact caused a fire and the seperation of an engine part which impacted the vertical tail jamming the rudder and making the aircraft uncontrollable.

The A320 was in its climb after take-off from Damascus Airport when it was hit at around 12000 ft. by the rotor of a Mil-Mi Helicopter operated by the Syrian Armed Forces. The helicopter was previously engaged in combat fighting with the "Syrian Liberation Army". When it lost altitude it came into the path of the climbing A320. One of its rotor blades sliced through the vertical fin of the A320 cutting it nearly in half. While the helicopter crashed near Douma and both pilots were killed, the Airbus was able to land safely at Damascus Airport.

The aircraft was prforming an ILS-CAT II approach to runway 09 at Algiers in low visibility conditions with ground fog limiting foreward visibility to around 100 meters. On final approach the aircraft descended below the glidepath and drifted to the right of track until the 737 made a touchdown at the very beginning of the paved ground, well ahead of the markings, showing the beginning of the runway. It took out a number of runway edge lights resulting in minor damage it its tires before the pilots made a safe landing rollout and proceeded normally to the parking stand. 
NOTE: official documentation of runway 09 approach showed a minimum distance of 550 meters runway visibility is required using the CAT II autoland approach. At the time, flight AH 6231 was the only one that did not divert to alternate airports, all other traffic elected not to land at Algiers.

The A321 was taxiing to its final parking position in front of the terminal, when its left wingtip hit the wing of the 737 which was stationary at the time at the neighbouring gate resulting in damage to both aircraft. Both departure flights to Turkey were cancelled. It is understood that no person inside any aircraft was hurt in the event. Preliminary investigation showed the A321 pilots were instructed to proceed to gate 05 but erroneously the aircraft followed the ground markings to position 05B which is much closer to the adjacent position 04, where the 737 was standing.

The aircraft crashed on approach to Palana Airport in Russia´s Pacific Region after radio contact was lost. The accident site is at an elevation of 500 ft., about 12 km south of Palana Airport in an area of rising terrain. The An-28 hit wooded hillside and broke apart on impact. It is understood that four passengers who were sitting in the back of the cabin have survived the crash. At the time of the accident, local weather consisted of low ceiling, reduced visibility and intense rain. Initial finding of the wreckage showed the aircraft lacked a terrain warning system (GPWS). Its installation was required by russian legislation as of Oct. 1st as the latest. Authorities began to investigate.

The aircraft was about 80 miles southeast of its destination, when it suffered a complete electrical failure. All four power generators stopped working leaving the pilots on battery power only. The pilots were able to restore power from two generators and continued to proceed to Anchorage. With its anti-skid system without power, the pilots were forced to use manual braking on landing runway 07L(eft) in darkness, causing 14 (of 18) tires to blew out. The 747 came to a stop on the runway but was unable to vacate. Runway 07L/25R remained closed for over 12hours until all tires were replaced and the aircraft was towed away. 
NOTE: Anchorage´s parallel runway 07R/25L was closed days before because of routine overhaul works.

The pilots aborted the take-off run after they noticed abnormal indications from one of the left engines (GEnx-2B67). The take-off was safely aborted and the 747 taxied back to the apron. Post incident runway inspection showed numerous engine fragments on the departure runway indicating that an uncontained engine failure may have occured. It is unclear weather there was any additional damage to the aircraft apart from the engine. The runway remained closed for cleaning purposes for the next 3 hours. Inspection however showed the engine failure was contained and all debris is believed to have exited the engine via the exhaust pipe.
