Cubana de Aviación Flight 1216 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 that overran the runway at La Aurora International Airport, Guatemala City, on 21 December 1999.

[1] The aircraft involved was a McDonell Douglas DC-10-30, registration F-GTDI, leased by Cubana de Aviación from AOM French Airlines.

[2] After a two-hour flight, the aircraft was cleared to land on Runway 19 at La Aurora International Airport.

On landing, the pilots were unable to stop the aircraft and it ran off the end of the runway and down a slope, crashing into ten houses.

The investigation found that the aircraft touched down too far along the wet runway with insufficient deceleration, and that the crew had failed to initiate a go-around.
