BBC World1 min read88 words
A runway was shut down after a jet touched down without extending its landing gear and subsequently ignited in flames. Emergency crews responded immediately, evacuating the aircraft and extinguishing the fire, while the airport’s fire department secured the area to prevent further damage.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, which caused temporary disruptions to scheduled flights and prompted a safety review of the airport’s emergency protocols. The runway is expected to remain closed until investigators complete their assessment and the surface is deemed safe for operations.
