The tyre of a Sri Lankan Airlines flight burst when the aircraft from Colombo landed at the Chennai airport on Sunday, sources said.
Nearly 140 passengers escaped unhurt. Around 8.30 a.m., the aircraft landed on the main runway.
As it was moving to the taxiway, it ran over a taxiway light and suffered a tyre-burst, an official said. The aircraft was repaired and took off later in the day.
