A Click Mexicana Fokker 100, registration XA-SHJ performing flight QA-7222 from Mexico City to Nuevo Laredo (Mexico) with 92 passengers and 4 crew, was on approach to Nuevo Laredo, when the crew received an unsafe gear indication, entered a holding to trouble shoot the problem and after being unable to resolve the problem performed a low approach to have the landing gear inspected which revealed, that both main gear had not extended. The crew decided to divert to Monterrey (Mexico) due to the available longer runways and better airport facilities and burned off fuel. After touch down on runway 29 at 20:42L (02:42Z Feb 12th) in night conditions the airplane skidded off the runway and came to a stop on soft ground turned around by nearly 180 degrees. No injuries occured, one passenger needed to be treated for shock, the aircraft received substantial damage.
The airport remained closed following the accident until the following morning.
Nuevo Laredo's runway 14/32 is 2000 meters/6500 feet long, Monterrey's runway 11/29 3000 meters/9850 feet long.
