Narrative:
An AirAsia Zest A320, registration RP-C8972, suffered a runway excursion while landing on runway 23 at Kalibo Airport (KLO), Philippines. Runway 23 has an LDA (Landing Distance Available) of 2187 meters.
Flight Z2272 arrived at Kalibo at 17:43 local time after a scheduled flight from Manila, Philippines. The airplane came to rest on the grass and all passengers were evacuated using escape slides.

Cebu Pacific Flight DG7054 (Manila-Kalibo), an Airbus A320, left a holding pattern near Kalibo at 15:55 and returned to Manila due to weather.
On December 19, 2013 another AirAsia Zest A320 was involved in an incident at Kalibo when the nose gear departed the runway during a 180-degree turn before takeoff.

PROBABLE CAUSE
The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was:
- Primary Cause Factor
Failure of the PIC to discontinue the approach despite poor weather condition that suggest a Missed Approach should have been initiated.(Human Factor)
The Pilot-In-Command clearly disregarded the normal and standard basic operating procedures setforth in the operations manual. This is a clear manifestation of poor judgement on the part of the PIC which violates the basic rules of the air and apparently endangers flight safety.
- Contributory Factor
a. The unfavorable tailwind condition which was more than 10 knots.
b. Kalibo International Airport has one way traffic pattern to land during night operation since Runway 05 has no Instrument Landing System (ILS)
