AAIB investigation to Boeing 737-4K5, G-JMCZ, 26 April 2024

Boeing 737-4K5 (G-JMCZ), load shift in-flight, en route to Edinburgh Airport, 26 April 2024

At the start of the descent for Edinburgh Airport the cargo shifted in the main deck and came into contact with the forward bulkhead. The aircraft landed safely at Edinburgh without further incident. The crew were notified of the movement after the cargo had already been unloaded so it was not possible to ascertain whether the locks had not been engaged or had malfunctioned in some way. The operator took a number of safety actions to address the risks of unsecured cargo moving during flight.
