American Airlines Plane Blows 2 Tires While Taxiing for Takeoff at O'Hare Airport, FAA Says
No injuries were reported as passengers deplaned by stairs and the FAA investigated the fifth tire-related incident at O'Hare this month.
- On Wednesday, American Airlines Flight 3280 blew two tires while taxiing for departure at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, forcing passengers to deplane on the tarmac before boarding a replacement aircraft bound for Charlotte.
- This marks the fifth tire-related incident involving aircraft in Chicago this month, with four occurring specifically at O'Hare Airport during the busy summer travel season.
- Earlier this month, a Southwest Airlines flight at Chicago Midway International Airport lost tire pressure while landing; last Monday, two planes suffered damage at O'Hare involving United Airlines and American.
- Collaborating with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Chicago Department of Aviation told ABC 7 last week that investigators are working to identify the cause of the recurring mechanical failures.
- These mechanical problems persist during peak summer travel operations, prompting aviation authorities to intensify monitoring at Chicago airports as the investigation continues into the underlying causes.
