In a letter to Captain Nawshad on December 29, the IFALPA acting president, Captain Ron Abel, said: ““I am writing to you to recognise your actions taken on your flight on the 22nd of December 2016 which ensured the flight landed safely. I have been appraised of the situation and the decisions you made to continue to the airport with the better emergency support and then after the low approaches to confirm the problems, the skill you used to land the aircraft with the damaged landing gear (sic)." 

He also said that Nawshad went above and beyond his responsibilities and utilised his skill in a calm and reasoned manner to make a safe landing. Finally, Abel thanked the pilot for his professionalism and maintaining high safety standards for aviation.

When the plane took off from Muscat, the control tower informed the pilot that a portion of wheels has been found on the runway, which might be a part of the aircraft.
All precautionary measures were taken at the HSIA on his request and Nawshad flied the aircraft over the runway at a low level twice before landing. After landing, the number two rear wheel was found damaged, but fortunately no one was injured.
