Approach and Landing
The flight from Casablanca-Mohamed V Airport proceeded without incident until the crew began the approach to Tunis-Carthage International Airport's Runway 19. Weather conditions at the time were marginal, with strong crosswinds and heavy rain reported over the airport.
Runway Excursion
After touching down, the aircraft rolled for approximately 1,600 metres before deviating to the right. It subsequently veered off the runway into a grassy area, rolling for another 114 metres. During this roll, the nose gear struck a concrete surface perpendicular to Runway 11/29. The impact tore off the nose gear, and the aircraft continued rolling for an additional 130 metres before coming to a stop.
Evacuation and Damage
All 83 occupants on board evacuated the aircraft without injury. The aircraft itself sustained substantial damage, described as beyond repair.
