Incident Overview
On the evening of the incident, an aircraft landed at San Luis Airport at 2046 local time. The landing was described as relatively heavy, prompting the copilot to request ground personnel to inspect the undercarriage before the subsequent departure. No abnormalities were reported.
Takeoff and Tyre Failure
The aircraft began its takeoff roll at 2110 local time, a gap of 24 minutes after landing. Just before reaching V1 speed, tyre number 4 burst and tyre number 3 lost pressure. The captain decided to abort the takeoff and initiated emergency braking.
Overrun and Post-Crash Fire
The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance. It overran, lost its undercarriage, and came to rest 125 meters beyond the runway end, at which point it burst into flames. All 113 occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft was destroyed by the post-crash fire.
Operational Circumstances
It was reported that the flight schedule involved reduced time scales and a short stopover at San Luis Airport. There was a delay in the departure relative to the scheduled time. The takeoff occurred at night, and the pilots faced difficulty appreciating visual references of the runway. Additionally, there was a reported lack of concern during the abort on the part of the pilots.
