What happened
During an approach to Cairo International Airport, the flight crew received notification regarding adverse weather conditions at their intended destination. In response to these conditions, the decision was made to divert the flight to Wadi Halfa Airport, located approximately 900 km south of Cairo.
As the aircraft type (unspecified) was performing its final approach to the Wadi Halfa runway, a simultaneous loss of power occurred across all four engines. This engine failure led to an aerodynamic stall, causing the plane to impact the ground in a desert region situated roughly five kilometers before reaching the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the aircraft being destroyed, though there were no fatalities among the 16 occupants, who sustained only minor injuries.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary reason for the loss of power across all engines was fuel exhaustion.
