Catering was going aboard, the cabin crew were at their stations &mdash; and then, without warning, the nose of the 250-tonne Dreamliner dropped to the concrete.<\/p>\n\n<p>The nose landing gear of Lufthansa&rsquo;s D-ABPQ, a jet delivered from Boeing only in January, had collapsed &mdash; or in the airline&rsquo;s careful phrasing, &ldquo;unexpectedly retracted&rdquo; &mdash; while the aircraft was parked at the gate. Video of the moment shows the gear rolling forward before the nose slams down, a ground worker scrambling backwards to get clear.<\/p>\n\n<p>No passengers had boarded. But the aircraft was not empty: cabin crew and ground staff were inside and around the jet, and several of them were hurt.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;border-radius:8px;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, registration D-ABPQ, named &ldquo;Herne&rdquo;<\/li><li><strong>When &amp; where:<\/strong> 4 June 2026, 12:45 local time, stand A15, Frankfurt Airport<\/li><li><strong>Flight:<\/strong> being prepared for LH450 to Los Angeles &mdash; cancelled<\/li><li><strong>Injuries:<\/strong> two Lufthansa cabin crew and several ground-handling employees taken to hospital with minor injuries<\/li><li><strong>Aircraft age:<\/strong> delivered January 2026; roughly 137 flights since entering service in February<\/li><li><strong>Cause:<\/strong> under investigation &mdash; unclear whether equipment failure or human error<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Four-Month-Old Jet on Its Nose<\/h2>\n\n<p>D-ABPQ is one of the youngest aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet &mdash; one of 16 in-service 787-9s and a centrepiece of the airline&rsquo;s widebody renewal. It entered long-haul service in February and had logged roughly 137 flights before Thursday. For a jet that new to end up resting on its radome at Germany&rsquo;s busiest airport is, to put it mildly, not what Frankfurt expected to see over lunch.<\/p>\n\n<p>Flight tracking specialists at Flightradar24 were among the first to confirm the identity of the aircraft and the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2062510866981924920&#038;theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:550px;border:none;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The drop of several metres drove the nose section into the apron, and the airline describes the damage as significant. The aircraft was expected to be lifted and moved to a maintenance hangar in the evening, pending approval from the investigating authorities, before specialists determine whether &mdash; and how quickly &mdash; the jet can be repaired.<\/p>\n\n<p>Lufthansa&rsquo;s statement was brief and to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;The aircraft&rsquo;s nose gear unexpectedly retracted while it was parked.

Two Lufthansa cabin crew members, already on board preparing the cabin, and several employees of ground-handling companies working around the jet were taken to hospital for evaluation and treatment. All injuries are reported as minor &mdash; a fortunate outcome, given the video shows a worker standing metres from the nose as it came down.<\/p>\n\n<p>The afternoon&rsquo;s LH450 to Los Angeles was cancelled, with passengers rebooked onto other services. Fire and rescue vehicles ringed the aircraft for hours while investigators documented the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1430112569  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/lufthansa-787-9-dabpq-paine-field.jpg\" alt=\"Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 D-ABPQ in Lufthansa livery at Paine Field before delivery\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The aircraft involved: Lufthansa 787-9 D-ABPQ, photographed at Paine Field before its January 2026 delivery.

Lufthansa says it is investigating the exact circumstances together with the relevant authorities; Germany&rsquo;s Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) routinely reviews serious occurrences of this kind.<\/p>\n\n<p>For Boeing, the timing is uncomfortable: a near-new Dreamliner on its nose makes global headlines regardless of where the fault ultimately lies. For Lufthansa, the question is more practical &mdash; how long one of its newest long-haul jets will sit in a hangar, and what 137 flights of service followed by a multi-metre nose drop means for the airframe.<\/p>\n\n<p>Until the investigation reports, the only certainty is the picture itself: a four-month-old Dreamliner, kneeling at gate A15.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Sources: Lufthansa, Flightradar24, Associated Press, Bloomberg, AirlineGeeks<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/lufthansa-10-10-widebody-strategy-a350-787-split-analysis-2026\/\">Lufthansa&rsquo;s 10+10 Widebody Strategy: The A350\/787 Split<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/lufthansa-a350-787-widebody-order-may-2026\/\">Lufthansa&rsquo;s Big Widebody Order: A350s and 787s<\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A four-month-old Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 suffered a nose gear collapse at its Frankfurt gate while crew were on board, injuring several employees and cancelling the Los Angeles flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":1547785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[665,670],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1548202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aviation-world","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lufthansa 787 Nose Gear Collapse at Frankfurt Gate<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A four-month-old Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 dropped on its nose at Frankfurt with crew on board, injuring several employees.
