❗FedEx Cargo Boeing 767 Malfunction Forced to Land in Turkey Without Front Wheels

ANOTHER ONE: FedEx Cargo Boeing 767 Forces to Land in Turkey Without Front Wheels. In the latest setback for Boeing, a FedEx Airlines cargo plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Istanbul Airport in Turkey without its front landing gear.

This latest malfunction adds to the growing list of technical failures associated with Boeing planes.

The aircraft, FedEx Express Flight 6268, a Boeing 767, was en route from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Istanbul when the crew discovered that the front landing gear would not deploy, Reuters reported.

The plane alerted Turkish air traffic control, which prompted immediate ground preparations, including the deployment of airport rescue and fire teams to the runway.

Video footage captures the moment of the emergency landing—sparks flying and smoke rising from the front of the plane as it scraped along the runway before coming to a stop. Firefighters promptly doused the aircraft with firefighting foam. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
