Palma de Mallorca, Spain: An Air Europa Boeing 737-800 suffered a landing incident at Palma de Mallorca Airport after an earlier bird strike reportedly damaged the aircraft’s nose landing gear steering system, leading to initial findings that claimed the jet had “lost a wheel” during landing. The incident occurred on May 8 during Air Europa flight UX6079 from Madrid to Palma de Mallorca. The aircraft involved has been identified as a Boeing 737-800 registered EC-MPG. The aircraft sustained a bird strike while on approach to Runway 06L at Palma Airport. The strike reportedly damaged the nose gear steering mechanism before touchdown. The touchdown itself initially appeared normal. However, during the rollout phase, the aircraft gradually veered to the right before exiting the runway area at low speed and coming to a stop near a high-speed turnoff. Early local media reports stated that one of the landing gear wheels detached during landing, with photographs showing the aircraft leaning to one side on the runway surrounded by emergency vehicles. The visible wheel and tyre damage was likely a consequence of the earlier bird-strike-related steering failure rather than an independent mechanical wheel failure. However, authorities have not yet released an official technical conclusion, and the exact sequence of damage remains under investigation. Emergency services responded immediately after the aircraft came to a stop. Passengers were temporarily unable to disembark normally while firefighters and ground personnel secured the aircraft. No injuries were reported among passengers or crew. Several prominent figures from Mallorca’s tourism industry were reportedly onboard the flight after attending an event in Madrid, according to local Spanish media. The aircraft remained grounded for several hours while maintenance inspections were carried out. The aircraft subsequently returned to service after repairs and inspections were completed.

Montana, United States: A small private aircraft crash-landed into multiple parked planes at Kalispell City Airport on Monday afternoon, sparking an intense fire but resulting in no serious injuries, authorities confirmed. The incident involved a 2011-built Socata TBM 700 turboprop, registered to Meter Sky LLC of Pullman, Washington. According to the Kalispell Fire Department, the single-engine plane was carrying four people, the pilot and three passengers when it attempted to land at around 2:00 p.m. local time. Initial reports from Kalispell Fire Chief Dan Pearson indicate that the TBM 700 touched down normally but lost directional control during rollout. The aircraft veered off the runway and collided with several parked planes on the apron. The collision ruptured fuel lines, triggering a blaze that quickly spread to the nearby grassy area adjacent to the tarmac. All four occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft before flames engulfed it. Two people suffered minor injuries and received treatment on-site, while the other two were unhurt. No injuries were reported among ground personnel. Multiple firefighting units from Kalispell and surrounding districts responded within minutes. Eyewitnesses described the crash as sudden and violent. Mark Grant, manager of the Aero Inn located near the airport, recounted to AP NEWS the moment of impact: “It was like sticking your head inside a bass drum and someone hitting it with all their might. The sound rattled the windows.” Several onlookers captured videos that circulated widely on social media, showing thick columns of black smoke rising from the airfield as emergency crews rushed to the scene. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed it has opened a preliminary inquiry into the crash, while the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will lead the formal investigation. The investigators will examine factors including runway surface conditions, aircraft mechanical integrity, and potential pilot error. The TBM 700’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders, though not required for all private planes, will be checked if installed. The NTSB’s initial report is expected within two weeks, but a final determination could take up to a year.
