A Vietnam Airlines plane’s tire was punctured as it tried to land at Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat airport last Sunday evening.
At 5.49pm, Flight VN503 departing from Guangzhou, carrying 136 passengers and 8 crew landed on the runway but did not stop until it had passed 50m from the end of the touchdown zone.
According to airport information, the runway was slippery due to heavy rain and a tire of the plane was blown off as the pilot was braking hard.
Vietnam Airlines said their crew carried out safety measures and managed to land at the end of the runway.
After the plane had stopped, Vietnam Airlines took more than an hour to repair and replace the tire at the site before they towed the jet back to the factory for technical tests.
The plane that encountered the problem was an Airbus A321-231, manufactured in February 2007 and in operation since. The plane’s last periodical maintenance was on April 27 this year.
