All five personnel aboard a Myanmar air force-operated Beech 1900D twin-turboprop were killed when it crashed shortly after taking off from Naypyidaw International airport on 10 February.

Flightglobal’s Fleets Analyzer database records the service as having had three of the US-built utility transports in service before the accident. It identifies the destroyed aircraft as having carried the registration 4601.
