It wasn't a KA aircraft as such but the A300 freighter on wet lease.
Don't know what the problem was but it was a return after it departed HK about 30 min earlier.

Sounds like hydraulics, as ATC asked them "Have you managed to put the gear down yet" and they also reported that they might not have nosewheel steering after landing (which they did). It landed 07L and was KA590.
