Turkey’s transport ministry reported that a FedEx Airlines Boeing cargo plane touched down at Istanbul Airport on Wednesday without its front landing gear deployed and remained on the runway, without sustaining any casualties.
In a statement, the ministry stated, “The Boeing 767 aircraft, flying from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, informed the traffic control tower at Istanbul Airport that its landing gear failed to open and it landed with guidance from the tower”.
“Airport rescue and fire fighting teams made necessary preparations on the runway before landing, and no one was injured”, the ministry continued, without offering a cause for the failure.
The airport operator IGA reported, “The runway where the cargo plane landed has been temporarily closed to air traffic, but traffic on the other runways at the airport was continuing without any interruption”.
Boeing had no immediate comment.
Boeing opted to restructure its management this year amid mounting pressure from airlines, regulators, and investors in the wake of a January mid-air panel blowout on a 737 MAX plane.
