A Jeju Air flight carrying 183 passengers and six crew members made a dramatic exit from the runway after landing in Vietnam this week—but everyone walked away unharmed, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. 🌏
The Boeing 737-800 briefly veered into a safety zone while taxiing, tearing one of its landing gear tires. Passengers described the moment as "like a scene from a movie," though the crew maintained calm throughout. No injuries were reported, and the aircraft later returned to the tarmac safely. 🛬
Jeju Air confirmed the incident, stating: "Safety remains our top priority. We’re cooperating with local authorities to investigate." The airline, known for its budget-friendly routes across Asia, has temporarily grounded the plane for repairs. 🔧
Travelers, take note: While rare, runway incidents highlight why airlines drill safety protocols relentlessly. Stay buckled up until the seatbelt sign’s off—you never know when turbulence (or a rogue tire) might strike! 💺✨
