Caticlan (Philippines) - L'appareil de fabrication chinoise Xian MA-60 immatriculé RP-C8993 de la compagnie Zest Air assurait le vol 6K-895 de Manille à Caticlan (Philippines) lorsqu'à l'atterrissage, il a heurté le sol avant la piste 06, a viré brusquement sur la gauche et heurté une barrière en béton avant de percuter un bâtiment de l'aéroport.

Selon les autorités aéroportuaires, l'atterrissage a eu lieu au milieu de fortes bourrasques de vent. Les hélices, les moteurs et le train d'atterrissage de l' avion ont été sérieusement endommagés.
A l'exception d'une personne, tous les blessés - y compris des personnes au sol qui auraient subi de légères blessures occasionnées par les projections de débris suite au choc de l'appareil contre la barrière-, ont déjà quitté l' hôpital.
