An investigation is underway to determine why a Hawker 800XPi operated by Moroccan charter group Air Ocean Maroc overran the runway at Fès–Saïss Airport (GMFF) on April 11. No passengers were onboard when the flight landed at around 4:10 p.m. local time, and two pilots and a flight attendant were discharged from the hospital after being assessed for their injuries.

According to a statement issued by Morocco’s transportation ministry, the jet “veered off” 10,500-foot Runway 09 and collided with a wall at the perimeter of the airport. An image released by the North African country’s officials shows significant damage to the Hawker (CN-TKC) with the wing detached from the fuselage and resting on top of the cockpit.
