On 17 July 2023, a privately owned Cessna 208 aircraft with three people on board crashed into a hangar at an airfield in Chrcynno, Poland. Six people – the plane's pilot and five people who were inside the hangar at that time – were killed and seven others were injured. The crash was the deadliest aviation accident in Poland since 2014, when eleven people died when a Piper PA-31P Navajo crashed near Topolów.
