A333, Mactan-Cebu Philippines, 2022

Summary

On 23 October 2022, an Airbus 330-300 failed to complete three night approaches to runway 22 at Mactan-Cebu due respectively to adverse weather, a low height ‘SINK RATE’ warning and a system fault. Touchdown followed the fourth approach but the aircraft failed to stop on the 3,300 metre-long runway and sustained major damage before coming to a stop 235 metres beyond the runway end. All occupants successfully evacuated without serious injuries. The lack of braking was found to have been caused by damage during brief aircraft ground contact just before the beginning of the runway during the second approach.
