Bamaji Air added this Caravan to their fleet in on July 2003. On March 8, 2022, the aircraft departed Sioux Lookout and flew at 600 feet to remain below cloud in good visibility. Crossing Lac Seul it entered a snow squall midway way across the lake. The pilot attempted to arrest a descent the aircraft had entered when checking for ice on the wings, but struck the frozen lake surface. Two people on board suffered only minor injuries.
