SpiceJet Boeing 737 flight from Dubai to Cochin's tyre was found burst during a post-flight walk around, said a SpiceJet spokesperson on Tuesday.
"On July 4, SpiceJet Boeing 737 operated flight SG-17, Dubai (DXB) - Cochin (COK). During post-flight walk around NO 2 tyre was found burst. All system parameters were normal during and post-flight and landing was smooth," SpiceJet said in a statement.
According to SpiceJet, all passengers are safe and the operation to land the flight was normal.
The flight escaped a major accident as in such a scenario it becomes very difficult to make a smooth landing. With a burst tyre, there is a strong chance to meet an accident because the plane may lose balance if it touches down airstrip with a burst tyre.
