The Sabreliner 40 sustained substantial damage in a runway excursion accident at Puebla/Huejotzingo Airport (PBC), Mexico.
During the takeoff roll on runway 35 a tyre on the right hand main landing gear failed. The takeoff was aborted but the aircraft overran the runway. The accident happened in daylight at the start of a flight to Acapulco.
The accident was attributed to the crew's delay in aborting the takeoff and their failure to fully use the aircraft's braking systems.
