The pilot circled the plane towards the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower at the airport. He informed the ATC tower about the problem. Not only that, but he also requested permission for an emergency landing. Eventually, permission was granted. With a green signal, the pilot brought the plane to the runway with great care and attention. The plane's front portion kept scraping the runway while landing. A sudden jerk created panic among the passengers. To ensure the safe evacuation of the passengers from the plane, arrangements had already been made. As soon as the plane landed on the runway, the passengers were quickly taken out of the plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating how this incident occurred.
