Incident Overview
Description
An Fokker 100 passenger plane, registered XA-SHJ, was damaged in an emergency landing at Monterrey-General Mariano Escobedo Airport (MTY), Mexico. None of the 92 passengers and four crew members were hurt. The domestic passenger flight CBE7222 from Mexico City-Benito Ju rez International Airport (MEX) was approaching Nuevo Laredo-Quetzalcoatl International Airport (NLD) when the main undercarriage failed to get down and locked. The crew decided to divert to Monterrey because the airport was better equipped to handle an emergency. Nuevo Laredo just has a single 2000 m runway. The crew carried out an emergency landing on runway 29 and came to rest on its right hand wing. It is unclear if the landing gear leg was up during landing or if it retracted/collapsed on landing.
