Turkish Airlines Flight 1019 was a scheduled flight from Istanbul Airport to Pristina International Airport, with 143 passengers and 8 crew. On May 2, 2016, the Boeing 737-800 overran the Pristina International Airport runway. No one was injured, but 6 people requested medical attention.[1][2]
Accident
Flight 1019 landed at Pristina International Airport on runway 35 at 7:32 pm, but went left towards the end of the runway and overran. The aircraft came to a stop 40 meters past the runway.[1]
Aftermath
The airport was closed immediately after the incident and opened at 1:00 pm after being closed for 20 hours as Kosovo's Aeronautical Accident and Incident Investigation Commission carried out a preliminary technical investigation to try and establish the cause of the incident.[1][3]
Investigation
Kosovo's Aeronautical Accident and Incident Investigation Commission (KAAIIC) opened an investigation into the occurrence. The NTSB (USA) and the Turkish DGAC (Turkey) also joined the investigation.[1]
Two days after the incident, touchdown marks were identified about 1500 meters down the 2500 meter long runway.[1]
On November 1, 2016, Germany's BFU reported that they had joined the investigation, due to a request from Kosovo's Aeronautical Accident and Incident Investigation Commission.[1]
In 2018 Kosovo's Aeronautical Accident and Incident Investigation Commission released their final report, concluding the cause of the overrun was due to high runway threshold crossing altitude combined with a long flare and late touchdown beyond the touchdown zone. The flight crew did not initiate a go-around procedure. This would have prevented this incident from occurring.[1]
