What happened
During the early stages of flight following departure from Tangier-Boukhalel Airport, the flight crew identified mechanical issues involving one of the engines. As the aircraft was performing its initial climb, the technical difficulties necessitated an immediate return to the airfield.
The pilot attempted an emergency landing; however, the aircraft type (unspecified) failed to remain on the runway. The plane ultimately performed a crash landing beyond the end of the runway, coming to rest in the area situated between the airport perimeter and the ocean. This accident resulted in one fatality among the passengers.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor leading to the crash was engine trouble encountered immediately after takeoff.
