Filipino Skyjet Air suspends operations after BAe146 is written off

24OCT2013

Skyjet Air (5M, Manila) has suspended services after its BAe 146-200, RP-C5525 (c/n E2031), operating on behalf of Alphaland Corporation, overran the runway on touchdown at Balesin Island airstrip on October 19. The Aviation Herald writes that the quadjet's captain had miscalculated the runway's length, bringing the aircraft to a stop some 200m beyond the runway's threshold. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines has written the aircraft off after it was inundated by a subsequent high tide. While Skyjet Air has not made any official announcements yet, it has currently suspended ticket sales for the next couple of departure dates. RP-C5525 is the carrier's only aircraft.
