A Pineapple Air Beech 1900C, registration C6-KRC performing flight PNP-978 from Nassau to Governor's Harbour (Bahamas) with 19 people on board, landed on Governor's Harbour's runway 15 on its belly and came to a stop on the runway. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Passengers reported the flight had been normal until being over the runway, when a loud pop sound occurred followed scraping and screeching sounds until the aircraft came to a stop. There had been no announcements prior to landing. Upon leaving the aircraft the passenger noticed the aircraft was sitting on its belly, the propellers had impacted the runway, smoke rose from the aircraft, at that point only they realised they had experienced a gear up landing.
