Boeing 763 Plane Crash-Landed at Istanbul Airport with Loose Landing Gear
A FedEx cargo plane encountered a tense situation on Wednesday as it executed a belly landing at Istanbul Airport, following a malfunction of its landing gear
The plane, sent from Moscow to pick up expelled Russian diplomats from Greece and then from Spain, was forced to travel 15,000 km on a detour due to a ban on flights to the EU, according to the flight tracking site FlightRadar24.
"While Spain and Greece made a one-time exception for the aircraft to enter their airspace, the flights flew past other countries that maintain bans on Russian flights," the website said.
The total length of the flight is 15,163 km, slightly less than the current longest flight in the world between Singapore and New York.
