On April 11, 2025, a Hawker 800XP (registration CN-TKC) operated by Air Océan Maroc was involved in an aviation accident near Fès-Saïss, Morocco during landing or approach. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway distance, leading to a collision with a wall beyond the runway end. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A).
An aircraft failed to stop after landing at Fès-Saïss Airport, resulting in a runway overrun and significant damage to the plane.
What happened
Following the landing sequence on runway 09 at Fès-Saïss Airport, the aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently before the end of the paved surface. Unable to halt within the available runway length, the plane exited the runway and traveled approximately 168 metres beyond the threshold. During the excursion, the aircraft struck a concrete wall.
The impact with the structure caused the separation of both wings and the loss of the undercarriage. Following the collision, the aircraft performed a 180-degree turn before finally coming to a stop. The accident resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft and caused injuries to all three crew members.
Findings
The aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
Probable cause
The aircraft failed to stop within the remaining runway distance, leading to a collision with a wall beyond the runway end.
