A Royal Air de Havilland Dash 8-200, registration 5Y-SYF performing flight 604 from Grande Comore to Fomboni (Comores), landed on Fomboni's runway 13 but overran the runway (1300m/4300 feet long) and came to a stop with the nose gear off the paved surface. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained minor if any damage.

The tail number 5Y-SYF (Kenya) is unclear. neither database nor photographic evidence of this tail number exists before the runway overrun.

The company Royal Air Sarl, based in Moroni (Comores), offers ground services, fuel services, documentation (flight permit) services and in cooperation with Royal Air Charter offers Medical Evacuations and Charter flights. Royal Air Charter operates ERJ-145 and Cessna Grand Caravans, but no Dash 8.
