Incident
Shortly after departing Khartoum-Haj Yussuf Airport, while climbing, the captain reported hydraulic problems to air traffic control. Controllers cleared the aircraft for an immediate return. After touchdown on the runway, several tires burst. The crew interpreted this as an engine malfunction and deactivated the thrust reverser systems. Without reverse thrust, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance. It overran the runway, collided with construction machines, and came to rest near a telecommunication relay structure.
Aftermath
All 100 occupants evacuated the aircraft safely. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
