On March 28, 1998 a Peruvian Air ForceAntonov 32 carrying the dual civil/military registration OB-1389/FAP-388 and inbound from Tumbes evacuating 50 people stranded by El Niño-driven floods had an engine failure while approaching Piura. As the aircraft was overloaded, the pilot could not maintain altitude, and the plane struck three houses of a nearby shantytown and crashed into a canal. While the crew of five survived, 21 passengers and one person on the ground died.[3]
On 20 September 2005, an Air RumL1011 full of Gambian football fans heading for Lima, Peru faked a fuel starvation emergency so that the flight had to divert to Piura.[4] The fans were going to support their national team playing in the city for the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship.
