Luftfahrt: A380 der Lufthansa setzt am Flughafen München vor Landebahn auf
Nach dem Zwischenfall mit dem Boeing-Dreamliner von Vietnam Airlines gab es kurz darauf noch ein zweites Problem in München. Ein A380 von Lufthansa setzte zu früh auf.
An Airbus A380 operated by Lufthansa made contact with the runway lighting but not the main runway while landing at Munich Airport on Monday, according to initial reports from the German news channel RTL. The plane, which had departed from San Francisco, sustained damage to several of its tires and the ground lighting. Despite the incident, flight LH459 with 351 passengers on board landed safely and was able to continue onto the tarmac.
The German Federal Aviation Accident Investigation Office (BFU) has launched an investigation into the incident.
This is not the first incident at Munich Airport this week. On Saturday, a Boeing 787-9 operated by Vietnam Airlines veered off the end of the runway during takeoff and managed to take off again after a brief delay. Videos shared on social media showed a large cloud of dust and vibrations in the cabin. During the landing two hours later, smoke was visible billowing from the damaged landing gear.
All 250 passengers on board were safely evacuated via bus to the airport terminal. The BFU is also investigating this incident using flight data recorder information.
