An Easyjet flight over the Saleve, near Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – An easyJet flight from Geneva to Nice 11 December landed safely after the 144 passengers spent 70 extra minutes in the air and were shown the brace position to prepare for a landing with an unsafe right main gear, Aviation Herald reports.

The pilots aborted the initial approach to Nice Airport, then tried two more times to get the gear down properly before “a low approach suggested all gear was down.”

The crew nevertheless turned out the cabin lights and ordered passengers into the brace position. The crew was given a round of applause when the plane landed without incident.
