Wizzair incident at Timisoara airport on 12.Apr.2009, gear troubles

12.04.2009 A Wizzair airplane was forced to return at the airport of Timisoara (Romania) after reporting a problem with the landing gear which remained open-stuck. The plane with 147 passangers on board was flying on a route to Rome (Italy) when 20 minutes into the flight a strong smell of burned plastic was felt into the cabin. The landing was done without troubles at about 14:30 local time. This is the second incident in only 4 days involving Wizzair, on the 8th of april an Airbus A320-200, making flight W6-227 from Budapest to Eindhoven (Netherlands) with 107 passengers, returned to Budapest when the crew received an unsafe gear indication after retraction of the gear. The Timisoara airport has become overwhelmed by aerial trouble situations in the last 2 months if counting also CarpatAir incidents. Wizzair is a Hungarian based low cost airline and although it passed the aviation black list there are reported a lot of minor troubles with the airplanes and furthermore the main complaints are related to the long time delay of the fights.
