The aircraft will stay in Brisbane for proper assessment and repairs. A report, as per the sources, stated that one of its flight’s tires blew at the time of take-off, and it landed safely in Brisbane with a massive hole on the side of its fuselage because a wheel had exploded in the undercarriage.
