Runway excursion at Fès-Saïss Airport

No fatalities • Fès-Saïss, Morocco • Landing (descent or approach)

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.
