The Dornier 228-201 was transporting medical supplies from Nairobi, Kenya to Mogadishu and Berbera, Somalia on behalf of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC).

The autopilot was lost, the elevator trim system was damaged and the aircraft lost all HF communications. The crew made a safe emergency landing at Djibouti Airport.
