SpiceJet Boeing 737 flight SG-17 traveling from Dubai International Airport suffered a number 2 tire burst incident. The burst was detected after the plane landed safely at Cochin Airport. All parameters were displayed normally during the landing.
One of the main factors contributing to flight disruptions has been the aviation industry’s soaring demand during the post-pandemic boom. Additionally, SpiceJet’s financial difficulties over the past four years have made the problem worse.
