While there were no fatalities nor injuries of the 168 passengers and crew, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and subsequently written off.

[1] The aircraft came to rest in a precarious position along the side of the cliff but did not slip into the sea due to the wet ground that caused the landing gear to be stuck in mud.

It had the registration TC-CPF, was named "Zeynep", and was operated by the Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines.

[1][6] It had flown 9 flights on January 13 with no reports of any damage or issues by pilots or ground crew.

One of the pilots claimed that an engine had a power surge, which caused the excursion via asymmetric thrust.
