The plan had originally circled the airport for about an hour before landing however crew were unable to release the landing gear. The pilot dumped any excess fuel before attempting a landing which meant there was less risk of a serious fire. As you can see from the video, the pilot of the Polish operated aircraft successfully landed the plan with fire crews on standby, who were ready to put out the small fire caused. No passengers or crew were injured.
