Common news for IC because media tends to higlight what ever happens to IC or AI. This is not a very serious problem. Any experienced captain can tackle this and it could have happened with any airline.

Problem is it gets overdramatised if it is IA/AI.

Yes, A320.


Aircraft that has been having the same problem for quite some time. (VT-EYS)


But Cochin rectified the problem and it flew on as scheduled to Kuwait via Goa.

Gear deployed normally but nosewheel couldn't be steered.


Was declared an emergency and there were fireengines and ambulances at Cochin.


Came to a halt within the usual landing run and was then towed to a parking bay.


Engineers worked on it for 2 hours and then proceeded to Goa and then onto Kuwait.


Best part was it was only 1.17 mins late on the return leg.

Air passengers have miraculous escape
Chennai, Aug. 14 (UNI): One hundred and fifty two passengers and nine crew members of the Singapore-Chennai Indian Airlines flight (IC 556) had a miraculous escape when one of the tyres of the aircraft burst on the runway at the Anna International Airport here today.


Airport sources said the flight, scheduled to land here at 0940 hours landed after a two-hour delay. After landing, the aircraft was on the runway completing the landing procedure when the tyre burst.


The alert pilot noticed this and managed to bring the plane to a safe halt, much to the relief of the passengers and crew.


All the passengers expressed their gratitude to the pilot and co-pilot for their timely action, the sources added.


 


Saw this plane just before it was landing at around 11.30 a.m. and told my cousin that she was pretty late. 


Aircraft was VT-EHD.  


Left for Singapore pretty late too on Aug 14. Sch dep was 0055 hrs but took off very low and noisy at 0215 hrs.
