A major crisis occurred on Ryanair’s FR-846 flight from Barcelona to Milan Bergamo. The Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, registered as EI-IGI and operated by Ryanair, unexpectedly lost all its main tires during landing. After a successful touchdown on runway 28 at Milan Bergamo Airport, the plane came to a standstill on the runway when all four of its tires burst.
Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the runway after the incident. Officials reported that the aircraft caused significant damage to the runway surface, extending 450 meters. Due to the blown tires, the plane was unable to maneuver, prompting immediate maintenance work on the runway. Airport authorities stated that repair efforts are ongoing to get the runway operational as soon as possible.
