Aircraft


The aircraft involved was a Boeing 757-23N, registration N524AT, powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. It was built in 1999 and first flew with ATA Airlines, VIM, Aurela and Thomas Cook before being acquired by Fly Jamaica in 2012.[3]


Flight details and accident


The aircraft departed from Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana on 9 November 2018 at 02:09 local time, bound for Toronto, Canada.[3] The flight subsequently reported a fault with the hydraulic system; as a result, the pilot aborted the climb and the plane returned to the departure airport for an emergency landing, touching down at 02:53. During the landing, the aircraft overran the runway and hit the airport perimeter fence, sustaining substantial damage in the process to the right-hand main landing gear and the No. 2 engine.[4][5][6][1]


Passengers and crew


There were approximately 118 passengers and 8 crew members on board the aircraft. Six persons were injured and an 86-year-old female passenger subsequently died on 16 November 2018 due to injuries sustained during the incident.[7][3][8]

Катастрофа Boeing 757 в Джорджтауне — авиационная катастрофа, произошедшая 9 ноября 2018 года. Авиалайнер Boeing 757-23N авиакомпании Fly Jamaica Airways выполнял межконтинентальный рейс OJ256 по маршруту Джорджтаун—Торонто, но вскоре после взлёта частично потерял управление. Лайнер вернулся в аэропорт вылета, но при посадке промахнулся мимо взлётной полосы, протаранил забор и, лишившись правого крыла и стоек шасси, врезался в песочную насыпь в конце ВПП. Из находившихся на его борту 126 человек (118 пассажиров и 8 членов экипажа) 6 получили ранения, ещё 1 позднее умер в больнице[1][2].
