Pegasus Airlines Flight 2193 was a scheduled domestic flight transporting passengers from Izmir to Istanbul. On approach to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, the aircraft encountered poor visibility due to heavy rainfall and strong winds. The Boeing 737-800, with 183 people on board, was unable to stop on the wet runway, ultimately overshooting its limits. The aircraft careened off the runway and came to rest in a drainage ditch, breaking apart in the process. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, and available resources facilitated the evacuation of most passengers and crew. Sadly, three people lost their lives in the incident, highlighting the potential risks associated with aviation under adverse weather conditions.

Despite the tragic outcomes, swift actions by rescue teams ensured that the majority of passengers could escape without life-threatening injuries. The flight's tragic end led to a thorough investigation by civil aviation authorities to discern the precise faults that contributed to the crash. Reports detailed that the crew had reported difficulties with visibility and conditions leading to a focus on human factors, operational decisions, and the impact of weather on flight safety.
