Carcassonne Landing

Having flown from Dublin to Carcassonne a few times the landing tends to be a bit different from others. I might be way off the mark here but it seems the plane is put down as early as possible on the runway in order to take the first exit. This would save a few minutes on the turn-around.

There is no time for a flare and the main undercarriage hits the ground with a large thump which startles the passengers. My question is whether this is good long term for the undercarriage?
