* June 6, 1984: A Vision Boeing 737-200 suffered a double bird strike during takeoff. The crew was able to use the APU to restart one of its engines shortly after it failed, and it returned for a safe emergency landing about 30 minutes after takeoff. Nobody was injured.

* August 15, 2005: The right wing of a Boeing 767-200 collided with a light post during pushback. Nobody was injured although the the damaged wing had to be replaced.
* September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757. Due to poor visibility, the 757 did not initiate a go around and landed as usual, causing its downwind wake turbulence to affect the 737. It suffered a wingstrike on an attempted landing and had to go around then make a successful second landing. One minor injury was reported. This accident made it so that parallel landings may not be carried out at night, as directed by ATC. Later investigations revealed that external radio signal jamming was affecting the ILS' capability to communicate with the pilots, which caused this incident.
