A Miami Air International Boeing 737-800, registration N732MA performing flight LL-293 from Guantanamo Bay Naval Air Station (Cuba) to Jacksonville Naval Air Station,FL (USA) with 136 passengers and 7 crew, landed on Jacksonville NAS's runway 10 at 21:42L (01:42Z May 4th) but overran the end of the runway and came to a stop in the shallow waters of St. John's River about 380 meters/1250 feet past the end of the runway and was partially submerged. All occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft, 22 occupants received minor injuries, one of them was taken to a hospital and released the following day.

Jacksonville's Sheriff Office reported Marine Units were called in to assist rescue. All persons on board are alive and accounted for. There were minor injuries, a number of people were transported to a hospital. The office later added 21 people were taken to hospitals with non-critical injuries.

The airport reported the aircraft crashed into the river past the end of the runway, about 100 feet off the paved surface.

Jacksonville's Mayor reported the aircraft landed during a rainstorm with low visibility, which may be a factor into the accident.

The NTSB have opened an investigation and dispatched an investigation team on site. The flight data recorder has been recovered.

On May 4th 2019 the NTSB reported in their press conference that 16 investigators have been dispatched to join this major investigation. The aircraft went off the right edge of the runway near the end of the runway and impacted a seawall before coming to a stop in the river. The runway is not grooved. The bottom half of the aircraft is covered with water. A number of pets carried in the cargo bays have perished. The flight data recorder is undamaged and is currently being read out. The CVR is currently under water and the NTSB can not get to it until the aircraft has been moved. The Naval commander stated that they do not know about the status of the pets, the cargo bay was checked and no pet noises could be heard and no pet carriers could be seen above the water line. The NTSB reported there may be surveillance videos around, however, they do not yet have those data. The runway had been renovated in 2016 and has a "crown", higher elevation around the center line, so that the water runs off the side of the runway. 22 people looked for medical attention, only one was hospitalized and released the following day. The airfield features a RNAV approach (no ILS available) or a SAR approach.

On May 5th 2019 the NTSB reported in their press conference, weather has complicated their efforts. The FDR was read out, preliminary information indicated the IAS at touchdown was 163 knots, 178 knots over ground (about 15 knots tail wind) at 30 degrees of flaps, ground spoilers deployed 3 seconds after touch down. The left hand thrust reverser was inoperative and the aircraft was dispatched under MEL. The CVR is still in the tail of the aircraft and under water. About 1200 gallons of fuel were remaining (some fuel spilled into the river). Divers are currently trying to remove the pets from the forward cargo bay. The crew initially planned to land to the west (runway 28), however, as the aircraft got closer to the airport they requested runway 10. Due to a deployed wire barrier the runway threshold was displaced by about 1200 feet leaving 7800 feet of landing distance available.

On May 7th 2019 the NTSB reported the aircraft was recovered onto a barge, as result the NTSB was able to access and recover the cockpit voice recorder.

In late May the NTSB released an investigative update stating that approach had advised the crew that both runway looked pretty bad and were "socked in". Winds favoured runway 28, however, as the aircraft came closer, tower queried whether the crew wanted runway 10 as it was looking better. The crew accepted runway 10. Tower reported the winds from 240 degrees at 10 knots when he cleared the flight to land. The aircraft touched down about 1600 feet past the displaced threshold of runway 10 about 20 feet to the right of the runway centerline, returned onto the center line about 1000 feet further down the runway, then veered right again and was 75 feet right of the runway, already off the runway about 6200 feet past the threshold and struck a rock embankment. The captain (ATPL, 7,500 hours total, 3,000 hours on type, therefore 1,000 hours in command) was assisted by a first officer (ATPL, 7,500 hours total, 18 hours on type). The NTSB wrote: "The accident flight was part of an operating experience trip for the first officer that began the day before the accident. On the day of the accident, the crew operated a flight from KNIP to MUGM, then operated the return flight to KNIP (accident flight)."

Jacksonville Naval Air Station features a runway 10/28 of 9003 feet/2740 meters length, landing distance available on runway 10 is 8006 feet/2440 meters. The airport features RNAV and TACAN approaches (as well as SAR approaches) to both runways 10 and 28.
