The Association of airline operators of Nigeria, (AON)has confirmed that a plane’s tire burst is an occurrence that occurs in the industry regularly and does not affect an airline’s safety requirements.
This comes as a result of the sensational story about a max air flight that had an emergency landing and a burst tire at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport.
The change is usually caused by a sudden drop in air pressure in a tyre, which causes it to deflate rapidly. According to the airline’s body, such an exaggerated report raises unnecessary concerns in the minds of the flying public.
According to a statement issued by a vice president and Chairman of air peace Allen Cinema, such an incident can occur to any airline.
