The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating another Boeing mishap after a tire issue was reported as an American Airlines flight landed Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
American Airlines Flight 345, which was operated on a Boeing 777 plane, landed around 8:45 p.m. local time, after it “blew a tire during take off” from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the FAA said.
However, American Airlines said Thursday morning there was no blown tire, and the pilot had received an indication that the pressure was low in one of the aircraft’s tires.
"The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally," American said.
LAX said the flight landed safely without any further incident.
