What happened
During an arrival at Goma Airport, an aircraft was unable to decelerate sufficiently after touching down on runway 36. Due to the insufficient remaining runway length, the plane exited the paved surface and traveled into an adjacent area characterized by a rocky lava field, where it eventually stopped.
As a result of the excursion, the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss. While there were no reported fatalities, the incident resulted in at least 20 injuries among the passengers on board.
Findings
Investigations into the event noted that the runway surface was wet at the time of the landing, which likely contributed to the loss of braking effectiveness and the subsequent inability to stop the aircraft before the end of the runway.
