Cape Town International Airport.
Cape Town International Airport has resumed normal runway operations after a Kenya Airways aircraft suffered a tyre failure during landing, forcing the temporary closure of the airport's primary runway and causing flight disruptions.
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) confirmed on Tuesday that the airport had reopened its main runway following the successful recovery of the aircraft and the completion of all mandatory safety inspections.
According to ACSA, the incident occurred around 3.25pm when the Kenya Airways aircraft experienced a tyre failure while landing. The incident resulted in the temporary closure of the airport's primary runway as emergency and recovery teams responded.
The airport operator said normal flight operations have since resumed after the aircraft was safely removed and the runway was declared operational following safety checks.
