What: Batavia Air Airbus A320-200 en route from Makassar to Jayapura
Where: Jayapura
When: Feb 7th 2012
Who: 148 passengers and 6 crew
Why: On landing in Jayapura, the flight encountered a strong storm.
Landing in rain, the plane overran the runway but did stop on pavement. The plane was towed to the gate where passengers disembarked normally.
No passengers were injured. The plane did not end up mired in soft ground, but abrasions on the plane’s skin, and lights on the runway were reported as the extent of the damage.
So basically, the families have waited a year for the Air Blue Interim report, on the July 28 flight from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport and still have no satisfactory answers.
