A portion of the runway behind a displaced threshold has three markings: [1] White arrows along the center line of the runway; White arrow heads across the width of the runway just prior to the displaced threshold bar; A 10 feet (3.0 m) wide white threshold bar across the width of the runway at the displaced threshold
The aircraft plunged 20m down an embankment and came to rest on a road. 3 of the 124 people aboard and 2 people on the ground were killed.

The aircraft was destroyed ...
The terminal has a CIP (Commercially Important People) lounge. A small paved apron allows aircraft passengers to embark and to disembark. Threshold of Runway 09 displaced 940 ft (287 m) and is marked "STOL." The airport has no radio-navigational aids, therefore landings on Runway 09 are strictly visual.
