A cargo aircraft made a belly landing at Istanbul Airport on Wednesday after its front landing gear failed to deploy.
The Boeing 767 belonging to FedEx Express used the back landing gear and then dipped its nose with the front portion of the fuselage, according to a video on social media.
The plane was on the last leg of its flight from Paris to Istanbul when the pilots realized the front landing gear failed to open, Anadolu Agency (AA) said.
Pilots requested emergency landing permission, and airport authorities dispatched rescue and firefighting service teams.
No one was injured and the crew safely evacuated the aircraft, said Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, Türkiye’s transportation and infrastructure minister.
The runway where the plane landed was closed off while the aircraft was being removed, he said.
