Incident
An aircraft operating a takeoff from Najran Airport runway 06/24 experienced an engine anomaly that resulted in a rejected takeoff and subsequent runway overrun. The event occurred without any reported injuries, and all occupants evacuated the aircraft successfully.
Sequence of Events
According to the investigation, during the initial takeoff roll, at a speed of 95 knots, the right engine's thrust unexpectedly increased. Shortly thereafter, at approximately 120 knots, the exhaust gas temperature warning illuminated on the cockpit panel. In response, the captain decided to abort the takeoff and initiated an emergency landing procedure. The speed brakes were deployed to slow the aircraft, but the thrust reversers could not be activated. As a result, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance, overran the end of the runway, and came to rest after losing its undercarriage and the right engine.
Evacuation
Following the overrun, all 85 occupants on board evacuated the aircraft without any reported injuries. The emergency response was activated, and the scene was secured.
