A Mauritania Airways Boeing 737-700 on a night scheduled service from Nouakchott to Conakry via Dakar landed on a wet runway at Conakry-Gbessia and could not stop in the remaining distance. It overran the runway, struck the ILS antenna and approach lights, and lost its nose gear before stopping about 500 metres further on. Ten passengers were injured and the other 87 occupants were unhurt.
