FireLiner Boeing 737 crashed in Australia during a fire fighting mission

[pello]

One of our 737 FireLiner's, Tanker 139, operating in Western Australia was involved in an accident while tasked to a fire Monday, 6 February 2023.

The aircraft had two crew on board at the time of the accident.

Both pilots walked away from the crash and have been medically assessed. Our thoughts and our immediate concern is for those team members and their families.

We’re very grateful the two team members on Tanker 139 are safe.

We are offering all the support we can to our local and international crews. We’re also grateful for the support being provided by our firefighting and aviation industry colleagues in Western Australia.

Bene siano salvi, direi un emergency landing a buon fine...tranne il crash!

A giudicare dai resti dell'aereo, gli e' andata bene.

Nel 2020, un C130 della stessa compagnia e' precipitato durante le operazioni di spegnimento incendi con la morte dell'equipaggio.
