Planes are not taking off or landing at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) after a small plane experienced landing gear issues while arriving.

BTR only had one active runway long enough for commercial flights because the other longer runway is under construction.

Probably an emergency landing ,and even if they land without incident they still do a FOD check (Foreign Objects Debris) on the runway in case something came off the aircraft or fluids came out. You don't want a jet engine to suck something in on the takeoff roll or hit something while landing.

Sounds to me like it’s closed because of a small plane incident

I bet your boyfriend trims the crust off the bread when he makes your sandwich because you're too lazy to do it yourself.

Yes. I came for insider airport gossip, not facts. I was looking for the guy whose uncle works ground crew and already has blurry cell phone pictures.

I save my posts for major aviation incidents and coaching searches.

Are FBI agents searching EWE’s plane again?

We were flying back from Louisville yesterday and the pilot came back mid-flight and said we needed to land in Gonzales because of issue at BTR.
