On October 7th 2019, a Silk Way West arrived from Baku on the bi-monthly cargo flight they operate. It was landing in a light crosswind, when on touchdown the right-wing dips down, nearly missing the runway, before the 747 swings back up sharply to the left, with left-wing nearly getting clipped as well. The pilots were then able to steady the 747, before coming to a stop, after what could have been a serious incident.
