PERFORMANCE RELATED INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS
WITH THE BOEING 737
 

To let pilots realize that performance plays a big part in the daily operation, listed below is a summary of incidents and accidents where the performance of the aircraft was insufficient.
Most of these incidents resulted in runway excursions causing damage varying from minor structural to hull losses with fatalities.

Runway excursions can be divided in veer-offs (aircraft departs the side of the runway) and overruns (aircraft unable to stop before the end of the runway) and is the most frequent accident cause worldwide (3rd most in EASA countries) and rank in 6th place in terms of fatal accidents.

This summary only gives an overview of incidents and accidents in the last decade where the Boeing 737 was involved and only those where the (near) runway excursion was not (solely) caused by technical failure. Completion of this summary is still in progress.
