A Blue Air Boeing 737-400, registration YR-BAZ performing positioning flight BLA-22P from Buchrest Baneasa (Romania) to East Midlands,EN (UK), was on approach to East Midlands when the crew stopped the descent at 4000 feet due to flaps problems and entered a hold to work the related checklists and prepare for the landing. The aircraft performed a safe landing on runway 27 about 20 minutes later.
The aircraft is still on the ground in East Midlands about 9 hours later. The aircraft is estimated to continue the positioning flight to the United States of America via Keflavik (Iceland).
