Korean Air Airbus A330 Overshoots Runway Landing In The Philippines 

I once flew on Philippine Airlines to the island of Bohol, small airport and short runway with houses overlooking it! Perfect weather and perfect landing. In China I was in a 757 and due to bad weather it aborted the landing twice. I thought it was going to crash but the pilots landed the plane (with us inside it) safely the third time. Very scary. Glad to hear all the passengers on the KA flight got out safely. Thank goodness for modern safety procedures. Cebu is pronounced / se BOO / (stress on -bu)

Reports as explained by Juan Browne show they went around the first time due to turbulence destabilizing the approach. The second approach was also turbulent, and a last minute down draft pushed them into the runway at almost 1000 feet per minute, prompting the second go around. On climb out, the crew had an indication of a brake failure, declared an emergency, and held to run checklists. By the time they were ready for a third approach, the turbulence had subsided and they were much more stable. They made a soft touchdown which, combined with a contaminated runway, likely caused hydroplaning and they failed to slow down. It is also unclear if the spoilers were ever deployed (the post accident images show them stowed), which could further increase the required stopping distance

2:26 at least its not such a big loss to the airline since the plane was already at its retirement age prior to the incident

The plane was older than me 😅 at least it wasn't a new plane and good that no one died

I’m glad everyone was ok

I remember when Xiamen Air Flight 8667 went off the runway in Manila in 2018. I've flown Korean Air 777-300s into Manila. Mostly because I enjoy flying the 747-8s to Seoul for my layovers. I've also flown to Cebu from Manila but that was with Cebu Pacific on their ATR-72-600s.

As a former Korean Air employee, I was once sent to CEB to help out in the operations back in 2011. CEB is a good airport but like in MNL (used to be my base port) it also has the same weather conditions. Korean Air had been all about safety and the crew managed to lead everyone unharmed. Thus, this is actually a good indication that Korean Air is safe for travel and the airline is always all about safety in its operations for its employees and customers. I am proud that I was once part of this airline and I am truly happy that they are still the best regardless of the incidents or events that may happen

I think due to the amount of rain on the runway, it would have been labeled contaminated since water was present prior to the overrun. So thankful all the passengers on the Korean Air flight survived! 👍

I’m from Cebu City and a fan. I must say, the rain that day was indeed quite bad. It did paralyze operations in the airport since our second runway is still being built and not yet completed. However, just a few hours ago, it was reported that full capacity and 24/7 operations in the airport has resumed. It was temporarily just from sun up to sun down for a few days after the incident due to damaged runway lights. A Turkish Airlines A350 was actually stuck here for a few days due to being unable to take off because of the incident.

How did other heavies handle the previous approaches? Was everyone else going around or were they landing?

Flew with KA 100s of times in and out of Jakarta, Incheon, Ulan bataar and Shenyang. Great airline, great service and awesome food.

I've flown into and out of Cebu and I must say the airport is very nice for an airport its size. There's some terrain on the main island, and we got fairly close to the hills on approach but the runway itself isn't aligned to any kind of high terrain, just sea.

Cebuano here, i actually live beside the airport so once i heard the news i immediately ran outside to see the commotion, the weather at that time was absolute dogwater. There was a very big residential area a few hundred meters away from the plane and seeing it up close makes me shiver. Thank god that the plane didnt overshoot the airport, just the runway, else there would have been more casualties

The rain that night was really bad, I was driving around Mactan Island where the airport is and I could hardly see anything driving in the torrential rain.

This reminds me of the Air France 358 accident. The A340 overshot the runway while landing in heavy rain, in Toronto. Apparently the aircraft came in high and hot, touched down nearly midway down the runway and the thrust reversers were activated late, hence the aircraft ran out of room to stop. I’m flying Korean Air in December, I hope this doesn’t reveal some hidden operational issues that impact passenger safety.

I flew to Cebu this year and the runway of the airport is about 3.3 KM so it's long. When I came back to Manila, there were heavy rains and thunderstorms and we circled twice before actually landing. It was quite heavy and nauseous. It must've been so scary to be on that Korean Air flight that over shot the runway. And by the way, had the plane didn't stop, it could've crashed to the houses located just a few meters away!

its a miracle how nobody got hurt despite the enormous damage to the plane.

I'm currently studying Major in Flying and i live in a dormitory at Gen Av Road, i live near Runway 04, That day it was my grandmother's birthday and the weather was indeed bad seriously bad, i was chilling at my room and i saw the crash right in front of my window it was so nerve wrecking and scary. kudos to the rescue team who arrived as soon as the plane overshoot.

I’ve flown to Cebu in 2015 with a silkair 737

There were 2 planes that were able to land safely that night before this plane crashed. The Philippines has Monsoon Rain there a lot of Local Flights during those heavy rains and the pilots are trained to land on wet runways. The Mactan Airport is pretty long because it was designed to accommodate PAF and US military aircrafts.

the second landing attempt was a hard touch and go -1500fpm at 175ft from -350fpm at 350ft resulting to brake failure.

I've flown into and out of Cebu several times when I was a teenager. (A very long time ago) Never been a problem even with fairly bad weather

it may did a long landing that caused to overshot from the runway...but some says the 1st and 2nd attempt of landing were hard touchdowns that causes the breaking system incapable to function on the 3rd attempt. but, bad weather is a bad weather, that night was the worst, it causes poor visibility to Metro Cebu, how much more to the airport? I'm from Cebu City and this news is shocking since I never heard a news like this before. The Philippines is actually facing a lot of typhoons this year, and if not typhoons some parts of the country faces Low Pressure with constant raining

On their 2nd go around they hit the runway hard which damaged the brake system causing them to not be able to slow down on the 3rd landing attempt.

So happy the incident resulted in no fatalities.

Yes twice. 1997: from Manila on the way to Duaguette and back 2020: From Duaguette and to Coron Island

I live near the airport here in Cebu, the accident was due to heavy rains and strong winds since its typhoon season in the philippines. Been a fan of your channel for a long time now💕

In spite of this incident, your better off flying them over local rival Asiana any day because of what that Asiana 777 crash in 2013 showed (poor pilot training)

There are more days where there is a typhoon in the Philippines than days without

Have taken many flights into and out of Cebu over the years. No issues. Though a major airport like Mactan International Airport, Lapu-Lapu, Cebu needs more than one runway.

i'm from cebu city and it kind of struck me to hear this happened

That ain't going to polish-out. Must have been close to retirement anyway.

I must say, the rain that day was very bad. In a short time we experienced 80 mils of rain, There was a large amount of flooding in the local region of Pusok, worse than had been experienced the day before. I am inclined to ask How was the surface of the run way ? Does it have good draining ? and were the drains blocked because of the previous rain that day and night

Korean air is the launch customer of the a330 I forget which variant though. I hope this aircraft was the one with the older business class seats

Been to cebu many times, the airport is on the island labu-labu. The island is forrested and pretty green. However no mountains or other obstructions so would say someone screwed up big time

1. The incident almost similar to RP-C3222, the aircraft that overrun in Bacolod, 24 years earlier (Flight PR137), but no ground casualties.* 2. I’ve been flown to Cebu before, together with my relatives. Around 2011, the flight from Davao to Cebu was a stop over so my cousins that they’re done tour in Bohol will be together for Hong Kong-bound flight (by then-Air Phil Express). At that time, I was 11 years old and I was a 5th grade student. I was excuse or absent so I’ll have my 1st experience to go international. *EDIT:* I’m so bothered to see a comments of a news related to this incident because they were unrelated, like the “Kdrama ban” issue,the Philippine President’s fault, among others. And addition, there are some talked about nonsense, that they feel know about the aviation.

The first time I heard of this incident was only a few hours after it happened. I was on my sofa, scrolling through RU-vid when I saw a video by a news company about this incident. I found it as a shock how this aircraft was severely damaged, it just seemed impossible for something like this to happen in 2022. I can imagine how much stress the pilots were in, after two go--arounds and a holding pattern. It must have been an absolute horror to them when they ran off the end of the runway at 80 knots. But one question remains, why didn't the pilots divert? On FlightRadar24, I saw that there were some other flight's from Seoul Incheon to Cebu and one of them which I believe was a 737 diverted.

Just hope Koreanair tells the public why didn't they think of calculating their leftover fuel and getting the flight diverted to somewhere else in PH

I'm so glad nobody was killed and everyone was able to walk away 🙏🏼

As Korean, I was very shocked about Korean Air made aircraft written off accident... Korean Air was one of the safest airlines in the wolrd over two decades.. I think during second approach, the microburst prest an A330 to the ground and cause very hard landing. This hard landing cause problems of the landing gear and breaks. As a result the aircraft overran the runway...

hydroplaned then over shoot

Swagipinos, assemble! 👍👍🇵🇭

I flew disaster aide into Cebu after the typhoon a number of years ago. 747F

Landed at IAH with United and the aircraft had to do a go around through a thunderstorm. Surprised to feel the engines throttle up at landing and seeing the flaps go up for the go around. Thankful to see folks are safe.

It's important to mention that just before the overrun, HL7525 was 5th oldest aircraft and the 4th oldest Airbus A330 in Korean Air Lines fleet

Weird fact: I always take picture of that crashed plane

if you can't land safely better go back to your previous airport and wait for good weather conditions instead risking the life of your aircraft and your passengers. it is clear that Korean Air covering the fault of the pilot to not drag the name of the company on hiring incompetent pilot

Air France a340 flashback

Few weeks ago, I caught the exact same plane while plane spotting. Never have thought that it would crash at Mactan Cebu Airport.

It is MACTAN CEBU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

I Can Say That Korean Air prioritized the safety. Its just the weather dont get along. Cebu is a beautiful Place to see specially its new Airport

did they go heavely over the touchdown zone? \

And they still bave fuel for korean drama

Diverted the runway? Use proper terms pls

“JUST BASED ON APPEARANCES”….. BRO this aircraft is scrap metal, they’re nothing left. All the goodies are gone. Avionics, controls systems, engines, hydraulics, air sanitation systems and landing gear are ALL TOAST

Old plane. Replaced with a newer 777

It is very serious when an American reviews Filipino accidents. Yes I am Filipino

What was the latest news about the burned Lion Air in NAIA runway while performing take-off ?

I’m really glad that nobody was injured!

I seriously doubt based on current information that the aircraft was responsible for this accident. It’s been flying for 24 years without incident and the Philippines is known for very challenging weather conditions. This isn’t the first time a plane has overshot a runway in that country.

The Capitan an co pilot should have diverted to the back up airport in poor visibility and turbulence. After already trying to land. that should have been first on their mind because they should have known the weather before their first approach . Though early on in the investigation, it would seem they neglected protocol but the investigation will determine because there may have been other factors!

I have flown in and out of CEB a number of times on domestic and international flights without incident. There was also an overrun of the runway at DVO a few years ago by a Cebu Pacific A321 due to bad weather. Fortunately there were no injuries and the aircraft only suffered minor damage.

Maybe the accident plane was repair and return to service sooner.

It may be something like MF8667 with what happened in NAIA.

Do Airlines Fly Midnights Crossing The Pacific Ocean ?

Always divert after two failed attempts, it is a common practice in the industry I believe

theres a new Palau Australia route commencing this December😍

It’s still great that the accident are not related to any corporate mismanagement or else it would be great public relation trouble as KE have once been having one of the worst safety record

Commend the Korean Air pilots skill in landing this with out any fatalists.

Please change the jet graphics with its reverse thrusters open passing across the screen.

ACCIDENT!!!!!!

We're flying to Cebu in January so hopefully it'll be nice day

I'm sure that they can fix it with super glue and flex tape

Slap on some speed tape and get that thing back in the sky

Glad everyone is okay! Now let’s wait for the first official report to learn what went wrong so that we can learn from this incident. Note: Runway excursions is the only type of aviation incident on the rise. I hope we don’t place blame on the pilot cause it serves no purpose

Rip someone’s luggage probably

Thankfully no fatalities

I wonder what kind of compensation the passengers will receive

Poor A330

What a well designed aircraft, I bet an aircraft from 30-40 years ago would have led to alot of deaths with the type of damage we're seeing with this accident.

The hardest part of flying an airfacft: landing the aircraft

Keen to know more about this incident as more info comes

Take a look to the Latam fly LA1325 on the 10-27 😉

Ironically, the only time I've flown into Cebu was on an A-330

As an airliner landed in turblant and extreme bad weather approach runways it's very courteous to abort the approach in the right time before a fatal accident happens and jeobrodiz life of innocent passengers at the back

No one looking on possibilities of landing gear failure?

He pronounce Cibu instead cebu😅

Probably Hydroplaned off the runway. At least all on board lived to tell the story.

I was on this flight a few months back, and it was an unfortunate event when the flight overshot the runway. It is good to know nobody was seriously hurt in this mishap. It is good to know Korean Air still flies to Cebu utilizing the Boeing 777 aircraft.

No

There will likely be an A330 NEO order from Korean Air soon.

I’m sorry but I’m the last 10 years the Korean pilots have been bad at Landing. Look at what happen at SFO

24 years before being discontinued. Typical chairbus

Is it Cebu or Sebu
