Aircraft overrun at Bor Airport during humanitarian mission

No fatalities • Bor, South Sudan • Landing (descent or approach)

A twin-engine aircraft sustained heavy damage after failing to stop on the runway during a landing at Bor Airport.

What happened

During a humanitarian mission operating for the World Food Program, a twin-engine aircraft was performing a flight from Juba to Malakal, including a scheduled stop in Bor. Upon landing at Bor Airport, the aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length.

As the aircraft continued past the runway end, it underwent an overrun. During this excursion, the landing gear was lost, and the structural integrity of the left wing was compromised, resulting in the wing breaking into two pieces. The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.

Findings

  • The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop within the remaining runway distance following touchdown.
  • There were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the three crew members on board.

Probable cause

The aircraft failed to come to a complete stop before the end of the runway, leading to an overrun and structural failure.
