Flight 1323 was meant to land at the city of Ayacucho, but was forced to make an emergency landing in Lima, where the flight originally took off, after the pilot detected a problem in the air, Express reports.
The pilot was forced to make a “hard landing” or “belly landing” after the landing wheels did not deploy while the plane was approaching the tarmac.
“When it was identified as a forced landing, the established protocols were complied with, allowing the plane to complete its arrival. The reasons that preceded this incident are under investigation. All passengers aboard the plane were evacuated without problems and are safe,” Express reported.
