VIDEO A new accident, more violent, with Boeing. A plane lost its landing gear – Ziarul de Iasi

A FedEx cargo plane faced a tense situation on Wednesday when it made a belly-landing at Istanbul airport after its landing gear malfunctioned.

The Boeing 763 freighter, operating the Paris-Istanbul route, encountered problems with the landing gear during the flight, prompting the crew to request permission for a belly landing from the Istanbul airport control tower.

In response, the airport quickly initiated emergency protocols, dispatching Airport Fire and Rescue Service crews to the runway in anticipation of the rough landing.

Despite the severity of the situation, the skilled crew was able to perform a successful belly landing, bringing the aircraft down safely with no crew injuries or cargo damage reported.
