Turkish Airlines off runway in Pristina
Just heard this .apparently no injuries.

If you watch the video in the link, you'll see one of the passengers being a good netizen, recording his walk down a set of stair with his selfie stick for direct upload to the innerweb. Wearing a plastic bag on his head ...
Haven't TK seen a fair share of overrun events lately?

Not surprised..loads of kiddo captain no background that think they can learn flying by rote plus a kind of immature arrogant pride...very dangerous if summed to the overall training mayhem and rushed expansion...not my carrier of choice..from experience.
It will be interesting to find out what the actual wind was at the time. Looks like they flew the VOR35, which is a fun approach if you know it, but easy to get wrong if you don't. With a bit of tailwind and rain things can get a bit tricky. I have had more go-arounds there than anywhere else due to the wind being out of limits on final. To be fair to the tower the mountains all around do affect the wind. Mornings you tend to get the ILS17 swinging round to the VOR35 in the afternoon and then back again in the evening. They may just have skidded while taxying off. But if it was a genuine overrun then the combination of airport, airline and other factors add up.

THY A343 at Antananarivo on Jan 9th 2016, touched down short of runway
THY A333 at Kathmandu on Mar 4th 2015, runway excursion and nose gear collapse
THY B738 at Birmingham on Oct 24th 2015, tail strike indication
THY B738 at Sarajevo on Jun 3rd 2015, burst two main tyres on landing
THY A320 at Istanbul on Apr 25th 2015, hard landing, go-around, engine problem, gear problem, gear collapse, runway excursion
...
I will avoid them if I can.
Scary reading, sabenaboy, not less so if we add the AMS accident to the pile.
Perhaps it would be best, if TK was given some time to cool down and think about things. For instance by excusing them from EU airspace for a few months, while they get their sh1t sorted.
They are on my avoid list too.

They may need a visit by the joint air safety team from Boeing and Airbus. These guys are pretty good at pointing to lessons learned without the need for regulators with large painting brushes

As Europe is about to be "open house" to them I guess we can look forward to further expansion of their European network as passenger figures increase (at least on North & West bound sectors 
)

Sums it up nicely. After a similar slide at XXX (not in the list above) I was told by a senior training captain that: "No Turkish pilot has ever made a mistake....". Apart from sliding off the runway, of course. (Apparently, that was the fault of Boeing, because if you do a real greaser landing in a Boeing, the gear always collapses... Seriously.)
