An Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft suffered a tyre burst at Lohegaon airport here on Monday and remained stranded there for more than an hour before it was cleared from the runway.

The tyre burst forced the aircraft to remain suspended on the runway, resulting in the delay of several flights.

Civil flight operations have now been resumed, confirmed airport authorities.

Earlier in the day, director of Pune airport Ajay Singh had said that the flight operations were terminated and would take around an hour for the authorities to clear the runway.
