The aircraft then crashed short of the runway, killing 8 of the 11 people on board.

Later they would board an actual Airtours Boeing 757 for Palma de Mallorca.

The aircraft crashed and caught fire approximately one nautical mile from the airport.

A report recommended engine inspections, more crash-worthy seats, and consideration to fitting aircraft like this with CVRs.

[4][5] As a result of this accident an airworthiness directive was issued by the British Civil Aviation Authority in June 2000, requiring inspections of the starter adapters and crankshaft gears on Continental GTSIO-520 series engines.
