Ahmedabad: As many as 45 Ahmedabad-bound passengers had a narrow escape on Friday night after two tyres of Air India flight AI-130 burst while landing at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. But the flight landed safely and all passengers were reported safe. The flight had left Delhi at 8.30pm and reached Ahmedabad at 10.10pm.
"We experienced some jerk but landed safely. Only when we got down, we came to know that the tyres had burst. Thankfully, we are safe," said a passenger.
Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said that they would look into the matter and ascertain the cause of the burst in case there was something wrong on the runway. The two tyres that burst were on the left side of the plane. The same aircraft was supposed to fly back to Delhi at 11.50pm. But Air India cancelled the return flight AI-030 citing technical issues.
