Post by : Shakul

Phuket International Airport temporarily closed its runway after an Air India Express Boeing 737 MAX 8 arriving from Hyderabad made a hard landing, causing one of its wheels to detach upon touchdown. The incident damaged the aircraft’s landing gear and led to significant disruptions for incoming flights.

Authorities confirmed that the plane landed safely and no injuries were reported among passengers or crew. Airport operations resumed after inspection and clearance of the runway, but delays were reported for several flights.

Air India Express has stated that it is cooperating with airport officials and aviation authorities to investigate the cause of the hard landing and ensure passenger safety.
