VietJet Air representative said the incident happened at 7:33 a.m. on February 12.Flight VJ328 from Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City landed at Tan Son Nhat airport.

Images of VietJet plane tires bursting spread on social networks.

The punctured tire was located on the right rear landing gear of the aircraft. Since each landing gear has two tires in parallel, the aircraft can continue to fly even if one tire is punctured. According to Flight Radar data, the aircraft with the punctured tire is an A320.

This is the second incident involving VietJet aircraft since the beginning of the year of the Pig and the second incident involving aircraft tires in the past two months.
