Crash landing in KRT- Khartoum, Sudan

CNN reports crash landing in Khartoum -KRT.

First pictures show a narrow body or smaller wide body on fire on/ near runway.

CNN claims up to 180 people on board.

Could not identify the tail/ airline but it is for sure not QR / EK.

God bless

Al Jazeera now reporting that a Sudan Airways acft caught fire after landing; Channel 4 news (reporting Al-J story) reported about 200 on board.

Presumably A300-600 - only acft ST would have of this capacity?

CNN International here in Berlin says plane overshot runway on landing, supposedly many are believed dead. Plane was reportedly arriving from Amman, Jordan. Live photos show hull completely ablaze. About 180 reported aboard, have not heard aircraft type announced.

Acft was indeed A310; operating flight from AMM. Only one A310 (ST-AST, -322 model) operated by ST (and three A300-600s).

Yes the winglets indicate A310 or A300 it can not be an A330.

Sudan Airways operates 3 A300-600 and 1 A310 however it is unclear if it is a Sudan Airways plane.

Looks like a A310. There seem to be no markings on the tail, so it could be ST-ATN:

re:crash

Al-Jazeera television station said it was a Sudan Airways passenger jet, and Najib confirmed the plane was from a Sudanese airline. Video showed emergency escape chutes deployed at the side of the aircraft.
Spokesmen for the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington could not immediately provide any details of the incident on Tuesday afternoon, but said they were continuing to monitor the situation.
Sudan has a poor aviation safety record. In May, a plane crash in a remote area of southern Sudan killed 24 people, including key members of the southern Sudanese government.
In July 2003, a Sudan Airways Boeing 737 en route from Port Sudan to Khartoum crashed soon after takeoff, killing all 115 people on board.
After that crash, Sudanese officials blamed sanctions for restricting vital aircraft parts. The U.S. State Department said there was no ban on equipment needed for aviation safety.
In 1997, then President Clinton issued an executive order barring the export of goods and technology to Sudan because of the country's "support for international terrorism, ongoing efforts to destabilize neighboring governments, and the prevalence of human rights violations.

Diverted flight

Looks like a diverted flight to alternate (Port Sudan) which re-tried to land at KRT later. I remember numerous incidents and accidents (KLM & PA crash, the largest air incident in history at Tenerife as an example) after such diversions. Yes, the operation hours might be within limits and regulations, but why are incidents closely correlated to diversions and delays?

It's sad to see so strong signs of wind, so few chutes and no signs of firefighters on the CNN video.

A310

What a tragedy - this aircraft was brought in only recently. Talk of a technical failiure of some kind on approach.The wind is certainly strong but not unuasual for KRT.

Very sad
