Incident Details
The aircraft was operating a scheduled passenger service from Djibouti to Mogadishu, with intermediate stops in Hargeisa and Garowe. On board were 31 passengers and 8 crew members. During short final approach to Garowe Airport Runway 06, the airplane lost height and impacted the ground just before the concrete runway threshold. The impact caused the right main landing gear to collapse.
Post-Impact Sequence and Evacuation
After the gear collapse, the airplane slid along the runway before turning to the right and coming to rest on the runway, with the right engine cowling contacting the runway surface. All 39 occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
Probable Cause
The official investigation identified weather conditions as a contributing factor. Windshear was considered the major cause of the accident, and the root cause was a loss of control of the aircraft induced by windshear.
