The Cuenca airport runway has always been complicated by its length. But planes like the Airbus enter without difficulty.
And the Embraers 190 too, only that day several factors came together.
Hi Nicolas,
I remember such an unfortunate loss in that year of one of the Embraer 190 by TAME. Likely to operate the ERJ-190 family at airports High & Hot as Quito or Cuenca was not the best choice, maybe the CRJ-700/1000 or the ATR42-600 would fit better and perform better. However, the weather conditions, wet track at the time caused the E190 to skid off the track. Years ago on a flight from Icarus, (Fokker F-28), Cuenca – Quito asked us to leave luggage on the wet runway, era 2003.
Wow, I didn't know they did that in the Fokkers 28.
