What happened
During an arrival at Tacloban Airport, an aircraft was performing its landing sequence on runway 36. Upon touchdown, the vessel could not decelerate sufficiently to remain within the confines of the paved surface. As a result, the plane overran the end of the runway and entered the adjacent sea.
Despite the impact with the water, all 75 occupants were able to exit the aircraft without injury. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the excursion.
Findings
The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop within the available runway distance following landing.
Probable cause
The aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before reaching the end of the runway.
