What happened
During the final approach phase of flight to Matemo Island Airport, a single-engine aircraft struck the ground before reaching the runway threshold. The impact caused the aircraft to lose its undercarriage, leading to the plane coming to rest in an inverted position. Following the impact, a fire broke out, which ultimately destroyed the airframe.
Despite the intensity of the post-crash fire, all 11 occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage. There were no fatalities reported in the accident, though the passengers and crew sustained minor injuries during the event.
