Lufthansa employees injured in a Boeing nose gear incident at Frankfurt airport
Passengers had not boarded when the Lufthansa jet’s nose gear collapsed, and several staff members were injured and receiving medical treatment, the airline said.
- On Thursday, a Deutsche Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 nose gear collapsed at Frankfurt Airport while parked at a gate scheduled for flight LH450 to Los Angeles, leaving the aircraft partly on its belly.
- Lufthansa operates the 787-9 as a relatively new addition to its fleet, part of a broader strategy to gradually phase out less efficient jets and simplify operations.
- Although passengers had not yet boarded, crew members and ground staff were on board during the incident. A Lufthansa spokesperson said, "Several staff members were injured and are currently receiving medical treatment."
- Emergency vehicles surrounded the widebody aircraft, which partly lay on its belly, as Lufthansa stated, "We are currently investigating the exact circumstances with the relevant authorities."
- The incident led to the cancellation of today's LH450 service to Los Angeles as airline teams assess the widebody aircraft to determine the full extent of the damage.
