Auric Air flight no. 102
experienced a minor incident on April 30th, 2016 on landing in Bukoba. The pilot noticed the
aircraft was losing directional control on landing only to realise lack of tyre
pressure on the right main tyre as a result of a puncture on the landing
roll.
The aircraft was stopped
within the airport areas designed to stop the aircraft under the
circumstances.
Contrary to what is being
published on some outlets, we want to assure the public that all was under
control. The pilot was in control and did a great job.
Neither the passengers
suffered any injury nor the aircraft suffered any damage.
Our company engineer is
already in Bukoba to change the tyre and push back the aircraft on paved
surface. It will resume operation once a thorough check has been done for any
latent damage.
