Incident Overview
A charter flight originating from Luxembourg concluded its journey with a night landing on a wet runway. Following touchdown, the aircraft experienced difficulties in decelerating and subsequently overran the runway. The overrun caused the aircraft to lose its undercarriage before coming to rest a few dozen yards beyond the runway end.
Occupant Safety and Aircraft Damage
All 69 occupants aboard were evacuated safely. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and was considered beyond economical repair.
Environmental Conditions
At the time of the accident, the horizontal visibility was estimated at 1,800 meters, with cloud cover at 300 feet.
Operational Factors
It is believed that the aircraft suffered aquaplaning after landing. The flaps were reportedly retracted in the takeoff position, and the brakes were applied intermittently.
