On the evening of the 1st May 2008, the traffic on the Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, Bucharest's older and smaller airport, was stopped because of a belly landing of a Yakovlev Yak-52 plane that was coming from the small village of Tuzla, Constanţa (near the Black Sea). The plane had Dan Ştefănescu, a Blue Air Company, the plane owner, in the back seat and Laurenţiu Stan, a private pilot, in the front seat. All the sources reported a failure of the landing gear, with the notable exception of the ProTV, which claimed that the pilot forgot (!) to lower the landing gear! A single incoming flight was diverted to the OTP airport because of this incident.
