A De Havilland DHC-8 aircraft overran the end of Guernsey Airport’s Runway 27 on 23 April 2024, but no injuries were reported and the aircraft was undamaged. The flight, returning from London Gatwick, attempted a gentle touchdown but floated and touched down about two‑thirds down the runway, then overran the end at a slow speed. The aircraft operated under a wet‑lease agreement. Following the incident, both the lessee and lessor revised their safety management systems. Two safety actions were implemented: an enhanced understanding for the lessee of wet‑lease operations, and an augmented review of foreign carrier permit applications for wet‑lease operations by the Channel Islands Director of Civil Aviation. A safety recommendation addressed the placement of emergency checklists in the DHC‑8 Quick Reference Handbook.
