A Ceiba Intercontinental Boeing 737-800, registration ET-AWR performing flight C2-205 from Bata to Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), landed on Malabo's runway 04 in poor weather conditions at about 18:30L (17:30Z) but overran the end of the runway and came to a stop with all gear on soft ground. The nose gear sunk into the soft ground. The passengers were evacuated via slides. There were no injuries. The damage to the aircraft is being assessed.

Equatorial Guinea's Ministry reported this occurrence was caused by meteorological issues, although the aircraft managed to land in poor visibility and with rainwater on the runway, the aircraft slid off the runway into an unsuitable area. There were no injuries.

No Metars were initially available. The local weather station reported light rain starting at 15:00L, winds from westsouthwest at 10 mph, 29.83 Altimeter, 77 deg F temperature and dew point (100% humidity).

On Aug 30th 2024 The Aviation Herald received the METARs:
