Flight EK9788, operated by Turkish carrier Air ACT, skidded off runway 07R at 3:53 am local time. The Boeing 747-481 veered left mid-landing, struck a ground-service vehicle, and stopped with its nose over the seawall, partially plunging into the sea. Four crew members escaped unharmed. Two men in the ground vehicle, aged 30 and 41, were confirmed dead. Rescue operations involved fire services, marine police, and helicopters. Flight-tracking data showed sudden leftward trajectory shift after touchdown. The north runway remains closed pending debris clearance and safety inspections.
