What happened
Upon completing its arrival at São Filipe Airport, located on Fogo Island, the aircraft experienced significant issues attempting to decelerate. The plane failed to come to a halt within the runway boundaries, resulting in an overrun of the landing strip. During the excursion, the vehicle traveled down a rocky embankment.
Following the descent into the embankment, the wreckage was consumed by fire. While the aircraft was completely destroyed by the flames, there were zero fatalities and no injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
- The incident occurred during the landing phase of flight.
- The primary factor in the accident was the inability to stop the aircraft after touchdown.
