A British Airways (BA) jet from Amsterdam made a hard landing at London City Airport on Friday evening after losing its front wheels.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the front wheels by the plane's nose collapsed when the jet made a hard landing.
The plane was braked to a halt on the runway and its 67 passengers and five crew were evacuated using the plane's emergency chutes, said the report.
Two people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
A BA statement said: "The nose wheel of a British Airways aircraft suffered a failure on landing at London City Airport."
The airport was closed after the incident, with 11 flights being diverted to other airports close-by.
Meanwhile, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch has started a field investigation.
London City Airport handled 3.3 million passengers last year and is home to ten airlines serving over 30 destinations in Britain and other parts of Europe.
