An XL Airways France flight had to return to the Punta Cana International Airport just five minutes after taking off. The pilot notified controllers of difficulties with the main landing gear. That flight had taken off on Friday, 15 December 2017 at 9:46pm en route to Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris.

Onboard were 377 passengers and crew. Apparently the problem was resolved once the airplane returned to land, and the flight took-off after midnight and successfully arrived to its destination.
