Sepehran Airlines Boeing 737-500 EP-FSF, a former Sabena aircraft, veered off the runway after landing at Shahid Hasheminejad International Airport in Mashhad, Iran, on Tuesday. The aircraft came to a stop in the runway area after the excursion, and all passengers and crew were evacuated safely without injuries or fatalities. Iranian aviation authorities opened an investigation, while runway 13R and taxiway Q were closed after the jet became disabled.
One report identified the flight as IS-4310 from Tehran Mehrabad to Mashhad with 127 people on board. The aircraft, delivered to Sabena in 1992 as OO-SYJ, later passed through several operators before joining Sepehran Airlines. The exact condition of the nose gear has not been confirmed in public reporting, and the cause of the runway excursion remains under review.
