What happened
During an approach to Yerevan-Zvartnots Airport, an aircraft encountered challenging weather conditions. As the flight transitioned into the landing phase, the aircraft failed to maintain the proper alignment with the runway centerline, resulting in the plane touching down significantly to the right of the intended path. Following the touchdown, the aircraft lost directional control and drifted off the paved surface. The sequence ended when the vessel collided with a concrete wall located near the runway.
Despite the impact, all 154 occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft without injury. The incident resulted in the aircraft being declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the excursion.
Findings
Investigations into the event identified that the primary factor was the improper alignment with the runway centerline during the landing process, exacerbated by the presence of poor weather conditions at the time of the accident.
