The aircraft, an Airbus A320-214 with tail number RP-C3224,[3] was destroyed during the incident and subsequently retired from service.[1] After over running the runway, the A320 plowed into a bean field before hitting some coconut trees.[4] Nineteen people suffered injuries; the pilot and co-pilot suffered neck and nose injuries, and several people were taken to a hospital.[5][6] Most injuries were sustained during the emergency evacuation.[1] Bancasi Airport was closed for at least 1 day as air transport authorities evaluated the facility's ability to continue handling flights.[7] The cause of the accident is believed to be pilot error.
