Runway back open after Delta flight lands at Charlotte airport without nose gear
All passengers are safe after a Delta Air Lines flight landed Wednesday morning at Charlotte Douglas International Airport without the nose gear.
The airport announced the runway was open just after 7:10 p.m. on their official Twitter page.
Delta Flight 1092 from Atlanta landed in Charlotte at approximately 8:40 a.m., the airport confirmed to WCNC Charlotte. The pilot safely landed the plane despite malfunctioning nose gear upon arrival.
The pilot told the tower at Charlotte Douglas that 104 people were on the plane. The flight circled a couple of times before landing, according to flight-tracking data. No one was hurt during the landing, according to Charlotte Douglas officials.
A passenger on the plane told WCNC Charlotte the pilot's landing was "absolutely perfect," and said the crew was amazing despite the scary experience.
