By Simon Hradecky, created Friday, Jun 3rd 2011 10:14Z, last updated Friday, Jun 3rd 2011 13:31Z A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N195DN performing flight DL-257 from Detroit,MI (USA) to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil), blew the aft inboard right hand main gear tyre on takeoff from Detroit's runway 21L while rotating for takeoff, the crew retracted the gear normally, continued to Sao Paulo, declared emergency on approach due to a possibly blown tyre and landed safely.
The return flight DL-256 was cancelled.
Delta Airlines said the crew was aware of tyre debris being found on the runway following their departure, Delta technicians however were unable to positively identify from photos whether the debris belonged to a Delta aircraft or not. The crew therefore declared emergency on approach to Sao Paulo as a precaution.
