S26E04 Crash Landing (Eagle Airways Flight 2300)

2026-02-23

On June 18, 2007, as Eagle Airways Flight 2300 approached Wellington, the landing gear malfunctioned and wouldn’t extend. The pilots quickly redirected the plane and executed a belly landing in Blenheim, ensuring the safety of all 17 passengers and crew members aboard. The failure was attributed to a fatigue crack in the hydraulic actuator.
