Connext Airlines flight 199

Connext Airlines flight 199 was a regularly scheduled flight from Dincuff International Airport to Vernon International Airport operated by the Embraer E175 on the 28th of December, 2015. The Embraer E175 operating the flight, GD-CXVU, suffered from an all-engine failure shortly after takeoff, which also led to the loss of aileron control and temporary loss of elevator control.

The plane glided for 6 minutes and 40 seconds before impacting the runway at Cadiou International Airport. At impact, the nosegear of the aircraft collapsed and the left main landing gear deflated. The aircraft slid onto a nearby taxiway before coming to a stop. The crash supposedly claimed the life of one Myrish man, and the aircraft was soon repaired and put back into service.

The two pilots, Pin Hascoet (captain) and Remy Mezec (first-officer), who landed the aircraft despite the extraordinary circumstances, were awarded the Myrish Airways Platinum Medal for their bravery and heroism, as well as their ability to fly the aircraft even in the midst of an emergency. In addition, the two pilots were knighted by the Myrish royal family and were also the recipients of the Royal Medal of Honor.
