A Lufthansa Canadair CRJ-900, registration D-ACND performing flight LH-2249 from Lyon (France) to Munich (Germany) with 69 people on board, was climbing out of Lyon's runway 35L when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet due to a problem with the landing gear and entered a hold for troubleshooting. The crew subsequently decided to divert to Geneva (Switzerland) due to the weather/low visibility at Lyon. The aircraft entered another hold at Geneva before safe landing on Geneva's runway 22 about 100 minutes after departure.

The airline reported the status of the landing gear was unclear due to technical reasons, a visual examination of the landing gear was not possible in Lyon due to low visibility, therefore the aircraft was diverted to Geneva and landed safely.
