Aircraft overrun at Banlung Airport

No fatalities • Banlung, Cambodia • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft experienced a runway excursion at Banlung Airport following a landing, resulting in a collision with a structure but no fatalities.

What happened

Upon completing its landing at Banlung Airport, the aircraft struggled to decelerate within the available runway length. During the overrun, the plane lost its undercarriage and subsequently struck a building. Despite the impact and the significant damage sustained by the aircraft, all 42 occupants managed to evacuate the wreckage without injury.

Findings

Preliminary assessments suggest that the incident was driven by a failure in the braking systems. Additionally, it is believed that at least one tire burst shortly after the aircraft touched down, contributing to the loss of control and the inability to stop before exiting the runway.

Probable cause

A failure of the braking systems and a tire burst prevented the aircraft from stopping within the runway limits.
