The incident occurred after the 45-seater Avro plane of the Indian Air Force, with 10 people on board including a senior officer, landed on the runway.
A tyre of an Indian Air Force (IAF) plane burst while landing at Jolly Grant airport in Dehradun on Saturday morning.
The incident occurred after the 45-seater Avro plane of the Indian Air Force, with 10 people on board including a senior officer, landed on the runway, Dehradun senior police official Sadanand Date said.
Everyone on board the plane, including a Lt Gen-rank officer, escaped unhurt, but the incident has affected flight operations with the aircraft still stuck on the runway making it impossible for flights to either take off or land.
"There is no reason to worry as everyone is safe. But with the plane stuck on the runway, flights are blocked.
"A chopper from Indian Air Force's Agra airbase has arrived with a team of technical staff to replace the tyre and clear the runway so that flight operations could be restored," Mr Date said.
Uttarakhand Civil Aviation Authorities were not available for comment immediately.
