Nosegear collapses on Ryanair

A Ryanair flight from Liverpool's-John Lennon International Airport (LPL/EGGP) to Dublin Airport (DUB/EIDW) suffered a nose landing gear collapse on landing at Dublin Airport on Monday.

Flight FR5542 landed on runway 28 at Dublin Airport at 5.29 p.m. (local) where it suffered a mishap.

'The Dublin Airport Fire Service responded, and the passengers disembarked the aircraft normally once the all-clear was given by the Airport Fire Officer,' a statement from the Dublin Airport Authority said.

National Ambulance Service personnel and medics met passengers upon their arrival inside the terminal building.

'This is now an aircraft recovery incident. There are no reports of any injuries although one person was treated for shock,' a statement from the service said.

'National Ambulance Service personnel met passengers on arrival. The south runway remains closed and the north runway is in use this evening due to the emergency.'

Ryanair said in a statement that the plane experienced 'a minor technical issue' with its nose landing gear upon landing.

'Passengers and crew disembarked normally and the aircraft will shortly be towed back to the hangar for further inspection by Ryanair engineers,' it said.
