Emergency crews escort Delta plane at JFK Airport after reports of flat tires before landing
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A inbound flight to John F. Kennedy Airport landed safely after reports that the plane had flat front tires, according to FDNY officials.
Delta Flight 1966 from San Juan landed safely at JFK and was safely escorted to Terminal 4 Gate A14.
Officials say 46 units and 141 fire and EMS personnel responded.
They say there were no injuries, and the situation was placed under control just after 5 p.m.
In a statement, Delta confirmed "some damage to one tire, but not a major situation given the maintenance team determined the aircraft was suitable to continue taxiing over to the gate for the tire replacement rather than having to do so on the taxiway."
They said 170 customers were on board.
