What happened
Upon landing on runway 14 at Nicosia Airport, the aircraft began to deviate toward the right side of the runway. The movement continued until the plane exited the paved surface and traveled approximately 150 meters beyond the end of the runway. Following the excursion, the vehicle caught fire and was ultimately destroyed.
All 70 people on board managed to evacuate the wreckage safely. Among the occupants, nine individuals sustained injuries during the event.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the accident was driven by the pilot's failure to decelerate sufficiently within the available runway length. This lack of braking control led to a high-speed rightward turn, which generated enough lateral centrifugal force to cause the aircraft to skid sideways off the runway surface.
