Tyre burst happens, does not determine how safe an airline is —AON

Airline Operators of Nigeria {AON} has reacted to reports of the emergency landing and tyre burst of an aircraft belonging to Max Air at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, declaring that air plane ‘tyre burst’ is an incident that happens occasionally in the industry and does not determine airline’s safety standards.

The development usually occurs due to the sudden loss of air pressure in a tyre, causing it to deflate rapidly.

The airlines’ body however faulted what it described as exaggerated reports, saying such creates unnecessary fear in the minds of the flying public.
