- Date: June 25, 2009
- Aircraft: Xian MA60
- Location: Caticlan (Malay), Aklan, Philippines
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain's decision to land on runway 24 instead of the runway in use, combined with a long approach that resulted in touchdown about 950 m beyond the threshold.
A Xian MA60 on a scheduled flight from Manila to Caticlan was told runway 06 was in use because of the wind, but the captain chose runway 24. The approach was too long and the aircraft touched down about 950 m past the threshold. It could not stop in the remaining runway, overran into a grassy area and stopped against the perimeter fence, with all occupants uninjured.
