Incident Overview
An aircraft en route from Athens-Elefterios Venizelos Airport to Rome with three passengers and three crew members declared an emergency after the crew detected a burn smell, possibly indicating smoke. The flight diverted to Brindisi-Papola Casale Airport.
Landing and Runway Excursion
Upon arrival, weather conditions were poor, with rain showers and strong crosswinds. Runway 14/32, which is 3,330 meters long, was closed due to construction work. The aircraft landed on runway 23. After touchdown, it skidded, veered off the runway, and lost its right main landing gear before coming to rest.
Occupants and Aircraft Damage
Three occupants were evacuated to a local hospital with minor injuries. The aircraft sustained severe damage to the right wing and right fuselage and was declared damaged beyond repair. The aircraft was brand new, having been delivered earlier this year and having accumulated only 100 flying hours.
