some fatalities. I flew with them once 8/9 years ago. Only a short hope and fine but could tell they weren’t awash with money and keep costs down.
How does an atr42 overshoot a runway.

Looks short. They improved it with a 1400m tarmac runway, but it appears to only have an NDB. Weather in that area can be nasty.
