Forty-four people were injured, including ten seriously.[1] The flight was carrying 103 passengers and 6 crew.[2] The weather at the time was raining and misty. After departing the end of the runway, the aircraft struck some trees, tearing off the port wing. The fuselage ended up some 200 metres (660 ft) beyond the end of the 2,004 metres (6,575 ft) long runway at Rendani Airport. The tail of the aircraft broke off and came to rest in the creek off the Northern end of Runway 35.[3][4][5] The pilot was reported to have over 16,000 hours total time and the co-pilot over 22,000 hours total time.[1]

The aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-322 registered as PK-MDE, msn 24600.[1] It first flew on 16 March 1990 and entered service with United Airlines on 2 April 1990.[6] It was delivered to Merpati Nusantara Airlines on 12 November 2009.[7] The accident resulted the aircraft's write off. At the time of the accident, it had completed about 54,759 hours in 38,485 cycles.[8] The auxiliary power unit (APU) had been unserviceable since 10 April 2010.[1] The destroyed aircraft is visible on Google Earth.[citation needed]
Consequences
[edit]As a result of the accident, a total of seven safety recommendations were issued, five to the Indonesian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and two to the airline. The DGCA was instructed to review numerous airport facilities against Indonesian safety regulations, as well as Merpati Nusantara's safety regulations, and ensure that they were met. The airline was to conduct a review of its safety regulations, as well as a review of airports it serves to ensure that they were capable of handling aircraft as large as a Boeing 737.[7]
