Right Engine is trashed and the wing will need some repairs but it will cost 10M in logistics to get back in the air - So I guess it is heading to the scrapper.....

Serve Air Cargo

I believe its name is Serve Air Cargo. The A310-300 was recently bought from Air India.Airline owbed by Indian Chap from Jaipur.

Impressive fleet of about 7-8 72-200F (super 27F). What is this fleet like in safety terms?Well maintained? They pride themselves on safe maintenance.Is their operation risky Domestically?

Was the A310 overrun a weather factored accident, maintenance/Mechanical issue, or Pilot error?
