Airplane's Tires Deflate After it Lands in Allentown

An airplane’s tires deflated after it landed in Allentown Wednesday.

Allegiant Air Flight 624, which had 152 passengers and six crew members on board, departed Orlando Sanford International Airport at 3:09 p.m. Wednesday and landed at Lehigh Valley International Airport at 5:46 p.m.  After the plane landed, two of its tires deflated. The aircraft stopped on the runway and passengers were bussed to the terminal. No one was injured during the incident.
Mechanics examined the plane to have it safely moved.

The incident delayed Flight 625 which was set to depart from Allentown to Sanford at 5:30 p.m. That flight was rescheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m. Allegiant Air offered those passengers $100 vouchers for future flights.
