Incident
A four-engine cargo aircraft, operating a flight from Bergen to Kome with intermediate stops in Ostend and N'Djamena, overran the runway at Kome Airport. The aircraft was performing a cargo service, carrying six crew members and a load of various goods. During the landing, the aircraft touched down approximately 800 meters beyond the runway threshold for reasons that have not been determined. Kome's runway is 1,800 meters long. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran, lost its undercarriage, and came to rest in a field adjacent to the runway.
Occupants and Injuries
The aircraft carried six crew members. All six occupants evacuated the aircraft and were reported to have escaped uninjured.
Damage
The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair as a result of the overrun and subsequent loss of undercarriage.
