The occurrence
On 28 December 2024, a De Havilland DHC-8-402 aircraft operated by PAL Airlines Ltd. departed from St. John’s International Airport (CYYT), Newfoundland and Labrador, on a flight to Halifax Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ), Nova Scotia.
During takeoff from CYYT, the left outboard tire failed, leaving fragments on the runway. Neither the blown tire condition nor the tire debris on the runway in St. John’s was noticed during the flight, and the aircraft continued to its destination.
