On April 10, 2025, a Gulfstream GV (registration N1948Z) operated by Talon Air was involved in an aviation accident near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico during landing or approach. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft drifted off the right side of the runway while the crew was performing braking maneuvers after landing. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 5 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft veered off the runway during the landing roll at Cabo San Lucas Airport, resulting in structural damage but no injuries.
What happened
During the landing phase at Cabo San Lucas Airport, an aircraft arrived on runway 29. As the crew began applying the necessary braking maneuvers following touchdown, the aircraft began to drift toward the right side of the runway.
This deviation continued until the plane exited the paved surface and entered a ditch. The impact with the terrain caused the aircraft to lose its undercarriage. Following the loss of landing gear, the plane performed a near 180-degree turn before eventually coming to a stop on its belly.
Findings
All occupants were successfully evacuated and rescued from the scene.
There were no injuries reported following the incident.
The primary factor in the excursion was the deviation to the right during the braking procedure.
Probable cause
The aircraft drifted off the right side of the runway while the crew was performing braking maneuvers after landing.
