Bump ^^^^^^^^ to give you guys chance to comment.
Seems strange that such an incident, which had the capacity to be far worse, hasn't attracted any discussion.
I recall a Premier running off the end of Blackbushe's runway a few years ago so this isn't the first time it's happened.
Are there some sensitivities surrounding the a/c, its crew or pax causing silence here?

Seems like one runs off the end of runway somewhere about once a week. It's just not a big deal anymore.

It is an aircaft which has a 'reputation'. Particularly in the US. For no reason in particular, just suffers from inexperienced owner pilots not flying to the numbers.
In this case professionally flown on a long runway I suspect there will be a technical problem reason for it.
However I think you're looking to dig dirt by the sound of your post. Doesn't look like it was a huge deal at the end of the day thankfully.

I heard once that runway overruns are the #1 accident category for light jets.
As previous posters already said, I guess it's due to owner-pilots upgrading from a twin piston or turboprop.

The airplane has developed a bad reputation. It's reflected in their prices on the used market. Same year and hours, are roughly half that of a CJ2. And I believe the Premier cost more when new.
