Azerbaijani planeâ€™s overshooting landing strip at Ataturk Airport is the nineteenth accident on that strip

13 August 2010 08:01 (UTC +04:00)

Strip # 05-23, which is one of the three landing strips of Ataturk Airport, is mostly remembered by such accidents.

According to Turkish mass media, the landing strip # 05-23 was extended by 300m during the reconstruction at Ataturk Airport and reached 2600m.

Turkish State Airports Management officials said the plane landed late and the accident happened as the speed was higher than the defined limit.

Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC issued an official statement saying that the plane, which landed at 10.40 Turkey time, turned and veered off the landing strip. The front section of the plane touched on the ground. None of the 8 crew members and 119 passengers was injured. AzAL and Turkish Civil Aviation officials set up commissions to investigate the causes of the accident.
According to initial investigations, the pilot failed to regulate the speed after landing. Front chassis curved and engine cover was damaged.
