Yemenia Flight 626 was an Airbus A310-324 twin-engine jet airliner operated by Yemenia that was flying a scheduled international service, from Sana'a in Yemen to Moroni in Comoros, when it crashed on 30 June 2009 at around 1:50 am local time (10:50 pm on 29 June UTC) while on approach to Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport, killing all but one of the 153 passengers and crew on board.[1][2] The sole survivor, 12-year-old girl Bahia Bakari,[nb 1] was found clinging to wreckage after floating in the ocean for thirteen hours.[4][5][6] Bakari was discharged from the hospital on 23 July 2009.[7]
The final report on the incident concluded that the crew's inappropriate flight control inputs led to an aerodynamic stall. The report also noted that the crew did not react to the warnings being issued by the aircraft.[8]
