On Wednesday afternoon, January 8th, the nose gear of a TUI fly Belgium Boeing 737-700 (registered OO-JAR) suddenly collapsed while parked at gate A59 at Brussels Airport. 

Maintenance staff noticed the mishap, and immediately informed the Brussels Airport fire department. Spokesperson Piet Demeyere said that during its last flight, a morning rotation from Malaga in Spain, the pilots didn’t notice anything suspicious.

At moment of writing, it is still unclear why the nose gear collapsed, Piet Demeyere added, and said that a thorough investigation has been launched.

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.
