On Jul 24th 2019 India's DGCA in its role as regulator (but not in its capacity as accident investigator) reported the aircraft performed an unstable approach at too high a speed and touched down about 900 meters/3000 feet past the runway threshold leaving about 1500 meters/5000 feet for roll out (runway length plus paved runway end safety area 2440 meters/8000 feet). This caused the runway excursion and damage to the aircraft. The license of the captain was suspended for a year following the date of the occurrence.
