A Cessna Caravan C208B reg. 5Y-BMZ operated by BushAir is reported to have crashed as it was departing Nasir, South Sudan next to the airstrip on 2nd February 2023. One fatality is reported from the crash despite all passengers and crew having evacuated safely from the plane.

According to eyewitnesses and a recorded video of the aircraft departing, the aircraft lifted off the ground but did not achieve much height before it crashed at the end of the runway. The aircraft soon burst into flames and smoke engulfed it.

The aircraft was in 2021 center of a legal dispute between Pratt & Whitney Canada Customer Care Service Centre Europe Gmbh and  Bush Air Safaris Limited.
