Narrative:
AirAsia Zest flight Z2 058 bound for Busan in South Korea reportedly miscalculated the runway during a turn prior to take-off and the nose landing gear rolled into soft ground.
Since the Kalibo Airport does not have a taxiway, aircraft must backtrack on the runway and make a 180-degree turn for takeoff.
