- Date: December 20, 2011
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-300
- Location: Yogyakarta, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew continued an unstabilized approach with a high sink rate and excessive speed, with fixation and complacency, no approach briefing and weak crew coordination.
A Sriwijaya Air 737-300 flying from Jakarta to Yogyakarta had earlier diverted to Surabaya because of weather. On the second attempt its approach was unstabilized, and it touched down fast and hard, then ran off the end of the runway. The aircraft was substantially damaged, and all occupants were evacuated, with six passengers reporting minor injuries.
