Passengers and crew members on board an Air Niugini international flight into Port Moresby city this morning, are all safe and accounted for after the aircraft experienced a difficulty whilst landing at the Jackson International Airport. Air Niugini confirms this, stating that flight PX011 from Manila to Port Moresby landed safely at 08:25 this morning. Shortly after touchdown, one of the aircraft’s tyres deflated, and the aircraft came to a controlled stop on the runway. All passengers and crew members remained safe and on board throughout the response. According to Air Niugini, after assessment and consultation with the flight crew and engineering team, it was determined that a tyre change on the runway would be the most efficient course of action. The tyre was successfully replaced, and the aircraft was towed to the international terminal at 10:08. During this time, arriving and departing flights into Port Moresby were limited, and inbound aircraft were diverted to Lae city. The runway has since been cleared and operations have resumed. "We sincerely apologize to the traveling public for any inconvenience caused whilst this situation was dealt with.” “We thank our passengers for their patience and understanding, and we commend our flight crew, engineering, operations, and airport personnel for their swift and professional response to ensure safety and minimize disruption. And we appreciate our airport stakeholders and incident responders for their continued support,” Air Niugini stated.
