What happened
During a cargo operation originating from Jeddah, the crew initiated the approach and landing sequence on runway 04 at Abuja-Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport. The flight proceeded without incident until the landing roll, at which point the aircraft failed to stop within the runway limits. The aircraft overran the displaced threshold and subsequently drifted toward the right side of the runway.
As the aircraft exited the paved surface and entered a grassy area, it struck several pieces of parked heavy machinery, including trucks and excavators. The impact caused extensive structural damage to the aircraft, specifically affecting both engines and the wings. Despite the severity of the impact, all six occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft was subsequently declared a total loss.
Findings
- The aircraft veered off the runway after passing the displaced threshold.
- Collision with parked ground equipment occurred while the aircraft was in the grassy area adjacent to the runway.
