What happened
On February 7, 2024, a British Aerospace Avro 146 Series RJ100 was performing a scheduled flight from Nanaimo Airport, British Columbia, to Prince Rupert Airport, BC. The aircraft, operated by Summit Air Ltd., was carrying 34 passengers and 4 crew members at the time of the incident.
Upon landing on Runway 31, the aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits. The plane overran the end of the runway and came to a rest approximately 30 metres beyond the threshold, positioned facing northeast. While the aircraft sustained minor damage, two runway end lights were also damaged during the excursion.
The investigation
The TSB conducted a Class 4 investigation into the event. This type of investigation is limited in scope and focuses on the immediate circumstances of the occurrence. The investigation examined the aircraft's movement following touchdown and the resulting damage to the runway infrastructure.
