LOT flight LO3924 was involved in a landing incident at Warszawa-Frédéric Chopin Airport, Poland.
The aircraft, a DHC-8-402Q, departed Kraków about 18:16 hours local time on a flight to Warsaw with 59 passengers and four crew members on board. The climb was arrested at FL100 and flight tracking data show the aircraft was seen to turn back towards Kraków at 18:23. Three minutes later the aircraft again turns back on the original course towards Warsaw.
After landing on runway 11 at Warsaw, the aircraft came to rest with the nose resting on the runway. Preliminary reports suggest the nose landing gear had not deployed.
The airport was closed after the incident and is expected to open again at 22:30 UTC, according to the airport Notam.
