NEW DELHI: A flight going to Chennai from Jaipur noticed a tyre burst Sunday morning before its planned landing, prompting officials to arrange an emergency landing at the airport.
Officials, quoted by news agency PTI, confirmed that all passengers and crew members landed safely and exited the aircraft without any issues.
The pilot identified the tyre burst just before landing and notified the authorities, who followed standard protocols for handling such emergency situations. “Upon visual inspection of the aircraft, wheel no 2 was found damaged with trye pieces coming out from the tyre-left interior…” officials said.
However, subsequent ANI report indicated that the Jaipur Air Traffic Control (ATC), where the flight originated, had alerted the aircraft’s crew about finding a piece of tyre fragment on the runway.
