Six fire engines were on the ground as the pilot received the all-clear to attempt a landing.
Once the twin-engine light plane landed, its front wheel immediately collapsed, sending its nose dramatically onto the tarmac.
No injuries resulted from the incident and emergency services were not required in what was a successful landing from the pilot involved.
Hamilton Airport chief executive Mark Morgan told Newshub that the aircraft is still on the runway and the facility has closed all air travel services.
