The aircraft was unable to continue its schedule, the return flight BT-620 was cancelled. The aircraft is still on the ground in Amsterdam 49 hours after landing.
A ground observer reported the aircraft was on approach to runway 27 and flared near the threshold of the runway, slowed and seemed to fall down from about 30 feet AGL, bounced back and touched down a second time nose gear dropping down.
According to ADS-B data transmitted by the aircraft's transponder the approach was stabilized until less than 100 feet AGL, when the vertical rate of descent increased from about 400 fpm to above 1200 fpm (averaged over 4 seconds) just before touchdown. The aircraft touched down at 93 knots over ground.
