PAL DH8 Overruns Busuanga

14 July 2024

Philippine Airlines Express Dash 8-400 (RP-C5905) flight number PR2680 from Cebu overruns the runway by about 100 meters beyond threshold while landing at Busuanga Airport around 2:51pm Sunday causing its closure to traffic. All 53 passengers and 4 crew members evacuated via the aircraft stairs safely. According to CAAP, the aircraft landed in bad weather during a strong downpour. Video footage of the plane landing recorded by passengers appears to point to pilot error after it failed to land at the markers while also failing to deploy reverse thrust fully for the plane to stop fast enough.
