A private airline’s charter aircraft suffered a tyre burst at Ahmedabad Airport on Saturday night, within minutes of landing. All nine people on board, including two crew members, escaped unhurt in the incident which had left the passengers dazed for a while.
Ventura Air Connect’s charter aircraft VT-DEV was coming from Surat when its rear tyre burst at around 10.20 pm. Since a tyre burst occurred after landing, a major accident was averted.
However, Ahmedabad Air Traffic Control has taken a note of this incident. This is the fifth incident of tyre burst of Ventura Airconnect aircraft in the last few months. Such incidents have occurred thrice at Surat airport and twice at Ahmedabad airport.
