What happened
A cargo operation flying from Kabul to Lahore ended in an accident when the aircraft, which was being operated by Kuwait Airways under a lease from TMA of Lebanon, suffered a mechanical failure during arrival. As the plane made contact with the runway, one of the main landing gear units collapsed.
Following the collapse, the aircraft slid across the airfield for several yards before the movement ceased. While the incident resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no injuries reported among the three crew members on board.
Findings
The primary factor identified in the accident was the structural failure of a main landing gear component during the touchdown phase of the flight.
