- Aircraft: Boeing 737-300
- Location: Kunming-Wujiaba, Yunnan, China

- Cause: Wrong approach configuration with an unstable, too-high approach, excessive landing speed and a late touchdown on a wet runway, with poor crew coordination and failure to go around.
A Boeing 737-300 landed at Kunming-Wujiaba in heavy rain at about 170 knots, roughly 2,500 feet past the threshold on a wet runway. It overran, struck approach lights and the ILS antenna, and lost its nose gear. All 148 occupants escaped, though 15 passengers were slightly injured, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
