Lion Air plane tire bursts after landing

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: A tire on a Lion Air passenger jet burst after the plane landed at Hassanudin Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday.

All 191 passengers and eight crew members aboard the vessel, flight number JT 796, were unharmed.
State airport management company PT Angkasa Pura I staff member Kintoron said the tire of the Boeing 737-900 ER jet, which was on a stopover on its way to Ambon, Maluku, was punctured as it entered the taxi way to the apron at 11:30 a.m. local time.

“The plane landed normally, but as soon as it entered the taxi way, one of its tires was suddenly punctured, thereby forcing it to stop.” — JP
