The flight was destined for Khartoum International Airport and had just taken off at the time of the accident. The aircraft was carrying a cargo of air conditioning units, car parts, computers and tools. A piece of the aircraft fell off shortly after it became airborne, which was later identified as a part of a cowling from engine No. 4. The aircraft was totally destroyed in the crash and subsequent fire which killed all six crew on board.

The crew were responding to a perceived power loss of engine No. 4, although their response was inappropriate. The No. 4 engine's core cowls departed from the engine, and this led to the separation of the Engine
Pressure Ratio flex line.
