Incident
During the takeoff roll at Khartoum-Haj Yusuf Airport, the left engine of the aircraft caught fire and exploded. The captain immediately rejected the takeoff and applied emergency braking procedures. Despite these efforts, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance. It overran the runway end, coming to rest a few dozen metres past it, and subsequently burst into flames.
Fatalities and Rescue
Three passengers were killed in the initial fire and impact. All other occupants were successfully rescued from the aircraft. However, the following day, four survivors—including a stewardess—succumbed to injuries sustained in the accident.
Aftermath
The aircraft was destroyed by fire after the overrun. Emergency services responded to the scene to extinguish the blaze and provide medical assistance to the injured. The exact sequence of events leading to the engine fire and explosion remains under investigation by the relevant authorities.
