On 14 January 2002, Lion Air Flight 386, a Boeing 737-200 crashed on take-off and was written off; however, no one was killed.
On 30 November 2004, Lion Air Flight 538, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, crashed in Surakarta, killing 25 people. This is the airline's first and only fatal accident as of May 2011.[citation needed]
On 4 March 2006, Lion Air Flight 8987, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, crashed after landing at Juanda International Airport. Reverse thrust was used although it was stated to be out of order. This caused the aircraft to veer to the right and skid off the runway coming to rest 7,000 ft from the approach end of RWY10. No-one was killed but the aircraft was badly damaged.[citation needed]
On 24 December 2006, Lion Air Flight 792, a Boeing 737-400, landed with incorrect flap configuration and was not aligned with the runway. The plane landed hard and skidded along the runway causing the right main landing gear to detach, the left gear to protrude through the wing and some of the aircraft fuselage to be wrinkled. No one was killed.[citation needed]
On 2 November 2010, Lion Air Flight 712, a Boeing 737-400 (registration PK-LIQ) overran the runway on landing at Supadio Airport, Pontianak, coming to rest on its belly. All 174 passengers and crew evacuated by the emergency chutes, with few injuries reported.[16]
Sound like a great mob.
