Damages

Bergamo Airport incident location within Bergamo

The plane landed approximately 2,000 metres (6,562 ft) into the 2,900-metre long (9,514 ft) runway 28, and did not stop until more than 500 metres (1,640 ft) 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 narrowly escaping a collision[failed verification] and others 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

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 21 September 2016.[9]
The final report, released in August 2018,[10] concluded that the accident was mainly caused by the loss of situation awareness of the crew.[1]
