A similar incident occurred with a Pegasus Airlines plane in January 2018, when it skidded off a runway in the city of Trabzon, coming to a stop on a cliff above the Black Sea.
No one was injured in the incident and the plane remained largely intact, though the damage it received turned out to be too severe and the aircraft was ultimately scrapped.
The plane broke into at least three large pieces, footage from the scene shows and people were seen evacuating through a large crack in the aircraft's side.
