Three-Engine Aircraft Overruns Runway 25 at Asmara-Johannes IV Airport (7O-ACW)

Incident Overview and Landing Conditions A three-engine aircraft completed an uneventful flight from Sana'a and landed on runway 25 at Asmara-Johannes IV Airport. The runway surface was wet due to recent rainfall, and wind was recorded from 200 degrees at 6 knots at the time of the accident. The exact touchdown point could not be determined. ## Braking and Overrun After touchdown, the crew initiated the braking procedure and activated the thrust reverser systems. All braking systems were available and properly used after landing. Despite these actions, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance of the 3 km runway. ## Collision and Damage The aircraft overran the runway end and collided with a concrete block located beside a runway light just past the runway end. The impact caused the left main gear to be torn off. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. ## Occupant Safety All 140 occupants evacuated safely from the aircraft.
