SINGAPORE: A Singapore Airlines flight to New York on Monday landed with damage to one of the plane's tyres.
All 81 passengers on board the all-business class SQ22 flight disembarked at the terminal less than 20 minutes after touchdown.
No injuries were reported.
The Airbus A340-500 aircraft was on a direct flight from Singapore to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
An SIA statement said that an initial inspection of the landing gear revealed that there was damage to a tyre on the left side, adding that its engineers were working on rectifications.
SIA has five A340-500 aircraft in its fleet.
The long-range, four-engined wide-body planes are used on SIA's non-stop flights from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York.
