On 3 January 2022, the right propeller of a BAe Jetstream 41 was hit by a very large bird during its landing roll at Venetia Mine. The impact caused overload fracture and separation of one of its blades with debris then penetrating and damaging an unoccupied part of the passenger cabin as well as significant secondary damage to the right engine. The accident was attributed to the absence of wildlife management at the licensed but not regularly manned airport. The bird involved was identified as a Kori Bustard, which is Africa’s heaviest flying bird and can weigh up to 19kg.
