On 20 March, a Trigana Air Boeing 737-400 (registered PK-YSF) operated a cargo flight between Jakarta Halim and Makassar, Indonesia. Just after departure at Jakarta Airport, however, the pilots suffered a technical issue with the aircraft’s right main landing gear. 

The decision was made to return to Jakarta. The aircraft landed on the left main gear, nose gear and right engine pod. Shortly after, the aircraft skidded off the runway and came to a stop with all gears collapsed. None of the four crew members was injured.

Following footage and images appeared on social media:

The airline holds a terrible safety record:

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
