What happened
Upon completing the landing phase at Conakry-Gbessia Airport, the flight crew experienced operational difficulties that prevented the aircraft from decelerating sufficiently. Due to the inability to halt within the available runway length, the plane exited the paved surface and overran the end of the runway.
The aircraft eventually came to a stop several dozen meters beyond the runway boundary. During the excursion, the impact caused the left wing to be partially severed from the airframe. Despite the intensity of the overrun, there were no injuries reported among the 35 occupants on board.
Findings
- The primary factor in the incident was the inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway distance following touchdown.
