Passengers of an Indian Airlines flight from Sharjah to Kozhikode had a narrow escape, when one of the tyres of the aircraft burst while landing at the nearby Nedumabssery International Airport.
The flight, with over 220 passengers onboard, had been diverted from Kozhikode due to bad weather, airport sources said in Kochi.

The runway remained closed for some time and the aircraft was towed away, they said.
