The aircraft was evacuated. A passenger received a serious injury (broken femur), the first officer received a serious spinal injury, 4 passengers received minor injuries, all 6 were taken to hospitals. The aircraft received substantial damage to right main and nose gear, nose, right hand propeller and engine.
Runway 25 was not available for landings due to work in progress, see relevant NOTAM.
Passengers reported the aircraft bounced on landing and touched down hard a second time at which time the right main gear obviously bent and the aircraft veered off the runway.
Alitalia reported the aircraft experienced difficulties in the final stages of the approach due to strong winds, which led to the aircraft leaving the runway. One of the passengers received a fracture of the femur, all passengers requiring medical care have been taken to hospitals. All flights operated by Carpatair on behalf of Alitalia have been suspended.
