On approach to Dera Ismail Khan Airport, a go-around was initiated due to left engine technical issues. During retraction of flaps and undercarriage, the aircraft stalled, crashed into a field, and slid 300 meters before stopping against trees. All 42 occupants evacuated; three passengers injured.

Incident

During final approach to Dera Ismail Khan Airport, the flight crew experienced technical difficulties with the left engine. In response, the captain decided to abort the landing and initiated a go-around. As the aircraft began to climb, the crew retracted the flaps and landing gear. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft entered an aerodynamic stall, resulting in a loss of altitude. The aircraft subsequently crashed into an open field. After impacting the ground, it slid for approximately 300 meters before coming to rest against a line of trees.

Evacuation

Following the crash, all 42 occupants on board evacuated the aircraft. Emergency services responded to the scene. Three passengers sustained injuries and received medical attention. The aircraft sustained substantial damage from the impact and subsequent slide.
