A Sunwing plane that took off from Santa Clara with 189 passengers managed to land satisfactorily in Varadero after a tyre burst on departure, preventing the retraction of the left main landing gear.
On 26 April, a Sunwing Airlines Boeing 737-800 plane registered C-FFPH, which left Santa Clara airport (SNU) in an emergency, bound for Montreal (YUL) as flight WG307, managed to land at Varadero airport (VRA).
Journalist Lázaro Manuel Alonso reported on his Facebook profile that “after takeoff, the aircraft presented problems with the left landing gear. The plane carried out manoeuvres over the province of Matanzas until it managed to land passengers and crew.”
The emergency landing was successfully completed after the landing gear failed to retract as it should. All the established procedures were carried out, and the pilot managed to make a successful manoeuvre, said a source from the Cuban Air Navigation Company (ECNA).
