Attempts to get an official statement from Max Air were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. However, aviation experts have reassured the public that such incidents, while alarming, are not uncommon.
Aviation analyst Kabiru Ali explained: “Tyre bursts can occur due to factors such as runway conditions, excessive wear, or impact forces during landing. The most important thing is that no lives were lost, and the crew managed the situation well.”
Meanwhile, normal flight operations at MAKIA have resumed, with airport authorities working to clear the affected aircraft from the runway.
