Varanasi: A Patna-Delhi Jetite aircraft carrying 68 passengers had a close shave today when one of its front tyres burst while landing at the Lal Bahadur Shastri airport near here.
All the passengers were evacuated safely, an airport official said.
He said a front wheel of the carrier of the Jet Airways subsidiary had a tyre burst while landing at 3:55 pm due to a "hydraulic system failure".
A team of engineers were carrying out repair works and the passengers were waiting for alternative arrangements to be made by the airline and airport authorities.
