A passenger reported the crew announced a landing gear malfunction following the first go around. The aircraft positioned over the sea, the crew attempted to re-cycle the landing gear five times before performing a low approach to runway 12 to have the landing gear inspected by tower, then the aircraft landed on runway 26 with emergency services on stand by. The cabin had been prepared for a possible evacuation, which wasn't needed. Upon deboarding the passenger observed the landing gears doors were all open.
On Jan 7th 2026 Israel's AIAI reported that the crew received indication, that the left main gear had not extended. The crew aborted the approach, worked the related checklist and received indication all gear struts had extended, however, after two minutes the left main gear again indicated unsafe. After overflying the runway for a gear inspection from the ground the aircraft landed without further incident. It was determined, it was an indication problem, the investigation therefore was abandoned.
