A FedEx cargo aircraft suffered a nose landing gear collapse while on the ground at Baltimore, leading to a temporary disruption at the airport.
The aircraft involved was an Airbus A300‑600 freighter. The incident occurred during ground operations, and no injuries were reported. The aircraft remained stationary after the collapse, with emergency teams responding as a precaution.
FedEx operates one of the world’s largest cargo fleets, and incidents involving freighters are closely monitored due to their role in global logistics. Ground‑related technical issues, while uncommon, can still lead to operational delays and equipment damage.
Authorities and maintenance teams are expected to examine the aircraft to understand what caused the failure. Such reviews typically focus on mechanical systems, maintenance history, and operating conditions at the time of the event.
The incident highlights the importance of regular inspections and maintenance, particularly for older aircraft that continue to play a major role in cargo networks.
