TUI Airlines Belgium Flight TB1012 – Malaga to Brussels Airport…
TUI Airlines Belgium flight TB1012, which suffered the nose gear collapse, is a routine scheduled flight between Malaga and Brussels Airport.
Furthermore, the aircraft involved in the incident was OO-JAR.
As per data from Planespotters.net, OO-JAR is a 15.9 year old Boeing 737-700.
Also, it was delivered to Jetairfly in March 2009.
By October 2016, it was handed over to the Belgian subsidiary of the popular holiday group.
TUI Airlines Belgium flight TB1012, which suffered the nose gear collapse, departed Malaga at 0959 local time on January 8, bound for Brussels.
It landed safely into the Belgian airport, with this accident happening after deboarding.
Moreover, as per The Aviation Herald, it is understood that the nose gear collapse occurred after all passengers were taken off the aircraft at Brussels Airport.
What Next For The Aircraft?
At this stage, the aircraft will no doubt have been checked by maintenance crews to ascertain why the nose gear collapsed.
Apparently, the initial checks showed no errors technically, and the airline isn’t aware of any human error.
Also, depending on the scale of the damage, the maintenance crews will look to make this aircraft airworthy again.
If the damage is too substantial for repairs, then it will be taken out of service and written off by the carrier.
