China Eastern's jet tyres burst on landing in HK
HONG KONG - TWO tyres on an Airbus A330-300 operated by China Eastern Airlines blew out on landing in Hong Kong on Tuesday but no one was hurt, the carrier said.
The incident occured just before noon at the end of a regular flight from Shanghai's Pudong international airport, the company said in a statement.
The accident had 'no major impact' on operations at the Hong Kong airport, the Shanghai-based carrier said, without specifying how many people were on board.
It was the second such incident this year.
In January, four tyres on a China Eastern Boeing 737 with 100 people aboard burst on landing in Shanghai's Hongqiao airport. No one was hurt, but the airport was forced to close for several hours.
A Hong Kong airport spokesman confirmed that operations were unaffected by the incident. -- AFP
