I’m leaning toward no EMAS. I found a facility directory that lists the size of the runway-end safety area where EMAS would be but it has no description of any EMAS system.

I’m not sure EMAS would have helped though. I believe EMAS relies on the weight of the aircraft bearing on the relatively small contact area of the tires/wheels to punch thru the unreinforced concrete. The weight of the aircraft distributed across the area of the belly may not be sufficient to break through the surface.
