What happened
During an arrival at Barrancabermeja-Yariguíes Airport, a four-engine aircraft experienced mechanical or operational difficulties immediately following its touchdown on runway 21. The aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently before reaching the end of the paved surface. Consequently, the plane exited the runway and traveled down an embankment.
Approximately 150 meters beyond the embankment, the aircraft came to a halt and caught fire. The impact and subsequent fire resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. The accident resulted in 6 fatalities, including one crew member and five passengers, while 29 other occupants sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
- The aircraft failed to stop within the available runway length.
- The sequence of events concluded with a post-runway excursion and an intense fire.
