The listed crash cause is human factor. The flight up-till approach to land at Indore was normal. On coming to the runway the aircraft touched down moderately hard and bounced high.

On the contrary, the aircraft came hard on the runway and bounced once again. This got followed with a series of bounces in succession. While bouncing the aircraft migrated from the runway and finally came to full halt on right side close to the airport boundary wall. There was no fire in the accident. All 53 occupants evacuated safely.
