Ryanair Aircraft Tyres Burst on Landing in Milan Incident
Investigators said a maintenance fault left the anti-skid system disabled, and an incorrect landing sequence caused all four main-gear tyres to burst.
- On October 1, 2024, all four tyres on a Ryanair Boeing 737-8200 MAX burst during landing at Milan Bergamo Airport in Italy, though 162 passengers and six crew members remained unharmed and disembarked safely on the runway.
- The Italian Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authority found the incident resulted from landing with the anti-skid system deactivated after a technician disabled it when a spare component was unavailable following persistent warning lights.
- Investigators noted the crew unintentionally applied brake pressure before speed-brake deployment, causing brake lock and tyre blowouts; the ANSV report cited "less than adequate evidence" in Boeing manuals for landing procedures with inoperative anti-skid systems.
- Ryanair subsequently reduced the maximum repair window for fault rectification from 10 days to just one flight and mandated duty pilot operational briefings for crews operating aircraft with inoperative anti-skid systems.
- The ANSV issued three safety recommendations to Boeing regarding disabled anti-skid operations, identifying a documentation discrepancy about whether an operative anti-skid channel "must not" or "should not" be deactivated, which may have influenced maintenance decisions.
