Myanmar pilot lands plane safely despite technical glitches 



YANGON: A Myanmar pilot safely landed a passenger jet without its front wheels on Sunday, after noticing technical glitches with the landing gear on the Myanmar National Airlines plane, authorities said.

It was the second aviation incident in Myanmar this week, after a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane skidded off the runway during strong wind in Yangon on Wednesday, injuring at least 17 on board.

An official praised the pilot for landing the Embraer 190 aircraft safely at Mandalay airport on Sunday morning despite the technical failure. No one was hurt.
