AirJet Angola Flight 100 was a domestic passenger flight in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) chartered by the Congolese government from N'djili Airport in Kinshasa to Kolwezi in Lualaba Province with a stopover at Lubumbashi in Haut-Katanga Province. On 17 November 2025, the aircraft operating the flight, an Embraer ERJ-145, touched down on Runway 29 before a displaced threshold at Kolwezi International Airport, resulting in a collapse of the aircraft's landing gear and subsequent lateral runway excursion. As a result, the aircraft's aft fuselage caught fire. All 26 passengers (including a DRC government minister) and 3 crew safely evacuated the plane before the fire spread forward and consumed most of the fuselage. Nobody on the ground was injured.
