The aircraft, which was operating as NetJets Flight EJA803 from Washington Dulles International Airport, touched down on its main landing gear before the pilots held the nose off the runway. The two pilots on board exited without injury, and the aircraft sustained damage to its nose and underside. The incident occurred on August 18, 2026, and is currently under investigation. The aircraft is part of NetJets’ fleet of Citation Longitudes, which the company ordered in 2018. This incident was first reported by AeroTime.
