What: Kuwait Airways Airbus 340-300 en route from Kuwait City (Kuwait) to London Heathrow
Where: Kuwait
When: Dec 6th 2010
Why: On takeoff from Kuwait City, the plane could not retract the landing gear. According to Al Abdulkarim, the procedure was routine, not an emergency. The crew returned to the airport, made a safe landing, and the problem was promptly repaired. The problem was apparently in the indicator, not the plane. After the warning light was repaired, the flight took off again within hours.
This is the third time in two months that Kuwait Airways made an emergency landing after take-off.
