* On 10 June 2013, [[Myanma Airways]] flight UB309 from [[Mawlamyine]], [[Myanmar]], carrying four crew members and 60 passengers swerved off the runway upon landing at [[Kawthaung]]. The plane came to a stop in bushes about 60 metres to the west of the runway, with smoke coming from the left side propeller housing and the propellers on both wings damaged. There were no injuries. It is possible the captain was too early in switching the nosewheel steering to the 'taxi' mode during the landing roll and lost directional control. A similar incident occurred in December 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://avherald.com/h?article=4639a3ff&opt=0 |title=Incident: Myanma MA60 at Kawthaung on Jun 10th 2013, runway excursion |first=Simon |last=Hradecky |publisher=The Aviation Herald |date=10 June 2013 |access-date=11 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160110064337/http://avherald.com/h?article=4639a3ff&opt=0 |archive-date=January 10, 2016 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
