Lufthansa A380 Wheel Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the incident, which took place at night, the aircraft underwent thorough inspections, but the lack of spare parts led to the cancellation of the return flight to Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Although LH 762 landed safely in Delhi, a temporary technical deregistration was necessary due to the unavailability of spare parts after the controlled landing. Safety remains our top priority at Lufthansa,” stated an airline spokesperson on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources disclosed to news agency that the return flight LH763 <\/strong>was canceled despite boarding passes being issued to passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft involved in the incident is Lufthansa Airlines Airbus A380-841 <\/a>registered as D-AIMC. Further it is a 14.4-year-old and is powered by Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lufthansa spokesperson confirmed that aircraft registered as D-AIMC is scheduled to operate flight LH763 from Delhi to Munich on July 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year in July, a Chicago-based United Airlines (UA)<\/a> Boeing 787 encountered a landing gear tire fire upon arrival at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that on July 20, firefighters successfully extinguished the landing gear tire fire on UA flight 85 while the aircraft was on a taxiway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the swift response of the firefighter team, the fire was contained before it could spread further. The aircraft involved is a United Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, registered as N91007. This 6.2-year-old plane is part of United’s fleet of 13 787-10 Dreamliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
