Incident
On a flight from N'Djamena to Bir Kalait, a twin-engine aircraft named 'Am Djerass' was on short final approach when it descended too low and struck the ground short of the runway threshold. The impact tore off the undercarriage. The aircraft then slid on its belly for approximately 200 meters before coming to rest in a sandy area. All propeller blades were separated during the slide.
Aircraft
The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair. The extent of the damage included the complete separation of the propeller blades and the loss of the landing gear assembly.
Occupants
The aircraft carried 15 passengers and two pilots, totaling 17 occupants. Among the passengers was Idriss Déby, the President of the Republic of Chad, who was traveling to Bir Kalait to participate in the Peace and Development Forum for the Borku-Ennedi-Tibesti Region. All 17 occupants escaped the accident without injury.
Aftermath
The aircraft came to rest in a sandy area near the runway. No further details about the response or investigation have been provided.
