- Went off the runway two days ago when it landed on runway 27 at night. At the very end of the runway it veered off to the right and vacated runway 07 to the left, where the left main undercarriage collapsed.
Rumour has it they had problems with the reverse function of the engines.
Caused a lot of problems for Le Bourget since runway 07/25 had to be closed. Main landing runway was 03 due to easterly configuration (dictated by CDG). Ceiling was too low for the circle to land with prescribed tracks meaning the airport had to be closed for landings eventually.
