What happened
During a night approach into Monterrey-General Mariano Escobido Airport, the aircraft encountered challenging weather conditions characterized by mist and heavy rainfall, which significantly restricted visibility. At the time of the incident, ongoing construction at the airfield had resulted in a 900-meter displacement of the runway 29 threshold. This modification reduced the available landing distance from the standard 3,000 meters to just 2,100 meters.
Following an incorrect approach configuration, the aircraft touched down too far along the wet runway surface. Due to the reduced stopping distance and the slick conditions, the pilot was unable to halt the aircraft before the end of the pavement. The aircraft subsequently overran the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse. The vessel came to a stop approximately 60 meters beyond the runway end, with the right side of the structure partially torn away. The accident resulted in 11 injuries among the passengers, while the remaining 79 occupants were not harmed.
Findings
Investigations into the event identified that the incorrect approach configuration and the reduced landing distance caused by the displaced threshold were primary factors. The combination of heavy rain and the shortened runway length prevented the aircraft from stopping safely within the available pavement.
