What happened
During the landing phase at Tehran-Mehrabad Airport, an aircraft was operating on runway 29L when a mechanical failure occurred. As the plane made contact with the runway, the right main landing gear collapsed. This structural failure caused the aircraft to lose directional control and veer toward the right side of the runway, where it eventually came to a stop.
Despite the severity of the excursion, there were no casualties among the passengers or crew. All 114 occupants remained uninjured during the incident. However, the impact and subsequent movement resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss, as the airframe sustained damage that was beyond repair.
Findings
Investigations into the incident focused on the sudden failure of the landing gear assembly. The primary contributing factor was the failure of the right main gear immediately upon touchdown. The specific underlying reason for this component's collapse remains undetermined.
