The aircraft neither crashed nor crash-landed, Air Peace clarified.
“This kind of sensationalism is bad and was intended to cause panic in the minds of the flying public”, it read.
According to the airline, the incident was duly reported to the authorities and passengers disembarked seamlessly.
The statement added that the tyres have been fixed and the aircraft is intact.
