Alliance Air Flight With 41 On Board Makes Emergency Stop After Tyre Bursts While Landing at Bilaspur Airport

An Alliance Air flight carrying 41 people experienced a technical emergency on Friday morning when one of its tyres burst during touchdown at Bilasa Dai Kevat Airport in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. All passengers and crew members were safely evacuated without any injuries reported.

Flight 9I 613, which originated from New Delhi, was executing its scheduled landing at around 11:00 AM when the left main landing gear tyre punctured upon making contact with the runway. The damage caused structural friction that brought the aircraft to a sudden stop on the airstrip. IndiGo Flight 6E 579 Makes Emergency Landing at Delhi Airport Due to Engine Failure.

Airport emergency response units moved swiftly to assist the 37 passengers and 4 crew members on board. Ground personnel safely deplaned everyone and escorted them to the main terminal building. Because the aircraft's damaged gear prevented it from immediately taxiing off the runway, flight operations at Bilaspur Airport were temporarily disrupted while engineering teams assessed the damage and arranged for clearance. Consequently, Alliance Air cancelled the aircraft’s scheduled onward flight to Prayagraj. IndiGo Flight 6E 723 Makes Emergency Landing at Chennai Airport After Engine Failure.
