ASL Airlines Hungary Flight 7332 (QY7332) was a cargo flight from Paris to Bergamo. On August 5, 2016, the aircraft slid off a runway on to a road at Bergamo while landing in bad weather conditions. The aircraft was in DHL livery.[1][2] The airport was closed for almost three hours after the crash, and flights were re-scheduled or rerouted to Malpensa Airport.[2][3] The two-person crew was not injured.[4]
Damages
The plane landed approximately 2000m into the 2900m runway 28, and did not stop until more than 500m beyond the end of the runway.[5] It broke through the airport perimeter fence and rolled onto an active four-lane highway,[3] with some vehicles in the adjacent parking lot being destroyed in the process.[6] The aircraft left a long trail of destruction as it rolled off from the runway.[7]
It sustained substantial damage, losing its CFM56 engines and main landing gear, and fracturing the horizontal stabilizer.[8]
Investigation
Italian air investigation agency ANSV began an inquiry into the accident.[8] The CVR and DFDR were retrieved on the day of the accident. A preliminary report was released on 21st September 2016.[9]
