??A R'Komor Fokker 50 flying from Moheli to Anjouan in the Comores Islands made a spectacular runway excursion on May 5th, 2024. The incident, which occurred during takeoff from Moheli's runway 31, involved a rejected takeoff followed by a runway excursion.
??According to local reports, the aircraft encountered a problem with its landing gear, possibly due to a runway obstacle, shortly after initiating takeoff. This forced the crew to abort takeoff at high speed.
??Despite their best efforts, the plane was unable to stop within the confines of the runway and overran runway 31, coming to a rest on soft ground amidst bushes. The right main landing gear is reported to have collapsed during the excursion.
??An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the incident.
