Following an uneventful flight from Oxford-Kidlington Airport, the airplane landed at night on runway 27 at Heraklion-Nikos Kazantzakis Airport. After touchdown, the nose gear failed and the airplane slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. All seven occupants evacuated safely and the airplane was later considered as damaged beyond repair.
