When a Boeing 737-400 cargo plane of Trigana Air recently landed at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (not Jakarta International Airport) in the south of Jakarta, Indonesia, on 20 March 2021, because the landing gear on the right side was broken, the aircraft engine touched the ground and a lot of fire appeared. It finally missed the runway.

Some media reported that the engine malfunctioned before the plane landed, and further news is waiting for Indonesian official release.

The 737-400 with the registration number PK-YSF has a cargo plane over 32 years old and only flew from Medan to Jakarta on 19 March 2021.

Because there were no passengers on the plane, the plane was not on fire, and there were no reports of casualties.
