Major Tragedy Averted at Lucknow Airport: Sparks Fly from Jet Wheel During Hajj Flight Landing

A serious accident was narrowly avoided at Lucknow Airport early Sunday morning when sparks emerged from the wheel of a flight arriving from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft was carrying 250 Hajj pilgrims and landed at around 6:30 AM. As the plane touched down, airport authorities noticed sparks from the landing gear. Emergency teams were immediately alerted, and the fire was quickly contained. Thankfully, all passengers were safely evacuated without injuries. The incident was caused by a technical issue with the brake pads, which have since been replaced. The aircraft underwent thorough inspection and repairs by evening. The timely response from airport safety teams helped avert a major disaster.
