On January 24, 2026, a Lufthansa CityLine CRJ-900LR operating LH2249 from Lyon (LYS) to Munich (MUC) diverted after the crew received an abnormal landing-gear indication shortly after departure.
According to incident reporting, the aircraft (registration D-ACND) departed Lyon runway 35L with 69 people on board. They stopped its climb around 5,000 feet to troubleshoot the indication, entered a holding pattern near Lyon, and had the crew work the applicable checklists.
With low visibility/fog at Lyon complicating the ability to perform a reliable visual confirmation of the gear’s external status, the crew elected to divert to Geneva (GVA), where conditions were more suitable for a controlled approach and post-landing inspection. The aircraft subsequently entered an additional hold near Geneva and landed safely on runway 22 in Geneva, roughly 100 minutes after departure.
