Runway Excursion Incident Involving AJet Boeing 737-800 at Hakkari-Yüksekova Airport


  • Date: September 20, 2024
  • Location: Hakkari-Yüksekova Airport (YKO), Turkey

A Boeing 737-8Q8 (WL), registration TC-JKU, operating as AJet flight VF4316, experienced a runway excursion while landing at Hakkari-Yüksekova Airport. The aircraft, manufactured in 2015, was flying a scheduled passenger service from Ankara-Esenboğa Airport (ESB) to Hakkari-Yüksekova (YKO).

The incident occurred during the landing phase under challenging weather conditions, as heavy rainfall had caused the runway to become slick. Upon landing, the aircraft could not stop before the runway's end, resulting in its nose gear coming to a halt on grass while the main gear remained on the paved surface.

No injuries were reported among the passengers or crew, and the aircraft sustained no visible damage.

The incident was classified as a runway excursion, and early reports are based on news, social media, and unofficial sources.

Flight Details:

  • Flight Number: VF4316
  • Aircraft Type: Boeing 737-8Q8 (WL)
  • Operator: AJet
  • Year of Manufacture: 2015
  • Departure Airport: Ankara-Esenboğa Airport (ESB)
  • Destination Airport: Hakkari-Yüksekova Airport (YKO)

Local sources indicate that the aircraft ran off the runway due to slick conditions caused by intense rain, but no injuries occurred. The aircraft was safely stopped with minimal disruption to operations at the airport.
