Another close call involving a Boeing happened yesterday after a Boeing 767 made a dramatic emergency landing at Istanbul Airport after its front landing gear failed.

A video on social media showed the 767 belonging to FedEx Express using the back landing gear and then dipping its nose with the front portion of the fuselage.

The front landing gear did not deploy, but the pilot managed to stay on the runway, Turkey’s transport ministry said, adding that there were no casualties.

The Boeing 767 aeroplane, 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, the ministry said in its statement.

Airport rescue and firefighter teams made necessary preparations on the runway before landing, with FedEx saying in a statement it was coordinating with investigation authorities and would “provide additional information as it is available”.

The news comes a week after an emergency slide that fell off a Delta Air Lines flight shortly after takeoff from JFK International Airport in New York was reportedly washed up outside the beach house of a lawyer whose firm is suing Boeing over safety issues.
