In September 2007, two separate accidents due to similar landing gear failures occurred within three days of each other on Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft operated by Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). A third accident, again with a SAS aircraft, occurred in 27 October 2007, leading to the withdrawal of the type from the airline's fleet.
