- Date: September 14, 1991
- Aircraft: Tupolev TU-154
- Location: Mexico City-Benito Juarez, Federal District of Mexico City, Mexico
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Wrong approach configuration: the crew continued above the glide path and landed too far down the runway. Insufficient fuel for a third circuit was also reported as a factor.
A Cubana Tupolev Tu-154 on a Havana to Mexico City flight went around once in fog, then landed long on its second attempt and could not stop. It overran, its left main gear collapsed, and it struck an ILS antenna, tearing off the left wing and starting a fire. All 112 occupants were evacuated and one passenger was slightly injured.
