Nose landing gear: Pegasus A320neo crashed in Basel
At Basel-Mulhouse Airport on Tuesday shortly after 12:00 p.m. there was a landing accident involving an Airbus A320neo operated by the Turkish airline Pegasus. According to initial information, the nose gear of the TC-NBH malfunctioned. No one was injured in the incident. However, the tires on the nose gear burst. Based on the abrasion marks visible in photos, it is suspected that this may have blocked. The local authorities are now investigating the cause of the incident and the Airbus A320neo. The TC-NBH was en route from Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen to Basel-Mulhouse. Flight PC939 is said to have proceeded without problems - apart from the landing. Pegasus sent the TC-NBN as a replacement aircraft to pick up the passengers who were booked from Basel-Mulhouse to Istanbul-SAW. Due to the incident, the runway was temporarily closed. Pegasus did not comment on the matter.
