Korean Air Flight 2033 was an Airbus A300 operating a scheduled passenger flight from Gimpo International Airport, in Seoul, South Korea, to Jeju International Airport in Jeju, that overran the runway shortly after landing on August 10, 1994. There were no fatalities.
Accident[edit]
The Korean Air Airbus A300 made its approach faster than usual to avoid potential windshear. Fifty feet above the runway the co-pilot, who was not flying the aircraft, decided that there was insufficient runway left to land and tried to perform a go-around against the captain's wishes.[1] The aircraft touched down 1,773 meters beyond the runway threshold. The aircraft could not be stopped on the remaining 1,227 meters of runway and overran at a speed of 104 knots. After striking the airport wall and a guard post at 30 knots, the aircraft burst into flames.
