Incidentally, the same flight, with 65 passengers on board, was delayed by over five hours yesterday after one of its tyres was found deflated here.

The Mumbai-Delhi flight via Indore and Bhopal landed here at 7.30 am. It left at around 9:15 hours after a delay of 90 minutes, they said.

Airport Director R N Shinde confirmed the incident and said the technical snag in the plane was rectified in an hour.

To a question, Airport Manager Pradeep Dev and Station Manager Yogesh Kataria denied local media reports that one of the tyres of the aircraft had deflated.

"The tyres of the Air India flight 633 bound for Delhi via Indore and Bhopal were intact. There was no tyre burst or deflation as reported in some local eveningers," they told PTI by phone.
