An Air India Express aircraft operating the Hyderabad to Phuket service suffered a nose-wheel malfunction upon arrival at Phuket International Airport on Wednesday, leading to a temporary suspension of flight operations. Airport officials halted all movements after the Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft remained stranded on the runway following the incident. The airline said the number of passengers onboard the flight was not immediately available.
In an official statement, Air India Express said, “We confirm that our Hyderabad-Phuket flight on March 11 experienced an issue with the nose wheel at Phuket Airport.” The nose wheel is a crucial part of an aircraft’s landing gear that ensures safe manoeuvring on the ground. The airline added that the crew followed all established procedures before safely deplaning passengers.
