== Accidents and Incidents ==
* On May 28th, 1973, MasaAir Flight 52 was heading from Mastistan Capital International Airport to Stríp-Hindel Emen International Airport. The aircraft was a Luftingenieure LG-400 carrying 38 passengers and three crew. At the start of the flight, the plane was hijacked by members of Warriors of Allah's Nation and directed towards Mawpolitia. Once over the city, the plane was bombed and it broke apart short of the ground. Most of the plane's body landed on a two-story house, killing six people inside. Four other homes were damaged as well. The tail of the aircraft landed on a nearby street just short of a moving car.
* On March 14th, 1978, MasaAir Flight 166 was heading from Noma Bulin International Airport in Port-Noveau, Monrever to Mastistan Capital International Airport in Jesova. The aircraft was an Aeroeagle 500 carrying 110 passengers and seven crew. As the plane was descending into Jesova, the pilots reported severe weather over the airspace, a hailstorm that was too unsafe to fly through. The plane turned around to the southwest, around the storm and the pilots looked for a safer approach into Jesova. Unfortunately, over the mountains, the pilot still made it inside. The plane was pelted with hail and suffered engine flameouts. The crew declared an emergency and attempted to divert to nearby Gonesta. The plane continued to descend as the storm clouds started to fade. The peak of Mount Jamul came into view. The pilots attempted a steep ascent, but they failed to avoid terrain impact, killing all 117 on board. This was the worst crash in the history of MasaAir.
* On June 7th, 1983, MasaAir Flight 2138 was heading from Nottelocale Airport to Gonesta International Airport on a Placerjet-80C. Shortly after takeoff, two vipers escaped onto the aisle and the plane had to turn back to prevent snake bites and to investigate. A passenger was arrested for smuggling the vipers before the plane took off again as normal.
* On January 10th, 1989, MasaAir Flight 204 was heading from Gonesta International Airport to Thomas R. Schneedly International Airport in New Stafford, Menneria with 160 passengers and seven crew. The aircraft involved was MT-ALB, a Bounett 320 delivered to MasaAir only three months prior. At the start of the flight, three men stormed the cockpit of the plane and dragged out the first officer. Passengers reported they beat him repeatedly several times throughout the flight. The men started threatening the captain, commanding that they fly the plane. The captain questioned their decision by asking for a destination they had in mind, but the men insisted they take control. In anger, they beat up the captain of the plane. Flight attendants noticed the scene in the cockpit and rushed to drag away the hijackers and subdue them. The badly injured captain used this time to call ATC in an attempt to fly back into Gonesta and call for police to storm the aircraft. One of the men broke free from a flight attendant and managed to obtain the plane's fire axe and began to threaten the captain with it. The captain was preparing to surrender his seat when a flight attendant came from behind and attempted to remove the axe from his hands. Others did the same as the other two men tried to counteract this move. During the fight, the captain successfully landed back in Gonesta, but a flight attendant's neck was partly sliced by the axe. This flight attendant, Samal Koulin, later died of his injuries at just 37 years old. Police stormed the plane and arrested the three hijackers, determined to be affiliated with the AUL. The first officer and the captain were hospitalized due to their injuries. After the attack, Mastistan and Cynetia improved their aviation security to prevent a similar event from happening again. The crew, including Samal Koulin posthumously, were awarded for their heroism on the flight. A display in the National Museum of Aviation in Jesova commemorates them as well.
* August 23rd, 1996 - Multiple technical issues and the pilots did a commendable job saving the flight. Major changes in the aviation industry, had to crash land but ended with only one fatality.
* On February 2nd, 2003, MasaAir Flight 362 was preparing to land in Senarclies International Airport in Bolstine from Jesova International Airport in the early morning. The aircraft involved was MT-AMA, a Bounett 320 delivered to MasaAir on June 21st, 1991. During landing, there was low visibility, high winds, and light snowfall. A serious wind hit the plane as it was descending, tilting both forward and to the right, causing a nose gear collapse, a right main gear collapse, and a strike to the right wing. The plane skidded down the runway with severe damage to the side and was evacuated before it was consumed by fire. In total, eight injuries were reported and zero fatalities, but the Bounett 320 was declared a hull loss and was written off. The cause was both weather and pilot error.
