What happened
While performing the takeoff roll at Nairobi-Jomo Kenyatta Airport, the flight crew determined that the takeoff procedure needed to be aborted. In response, the captain executed an emergency braking maneuver to halt the aircraft.
Despite these efforts, the aircraft was unable to come to a complete stop before reaching the end of the runway. The momentum caused the plane to overrun the paved surface, leading to the loss of its undercarriage. The vessel eventually came to a halt several dozen meters beyond the runway threshold.
Outcomes
- All 70 occupants were successfully evacuated from the aircraft without injury.
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair.
- The incident occurred during the takeoff roll phase of flight.
