Congress MP and Industrialist Navin Jindal had a narrow escape when his personal six-seater aircraft landed at the Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport of Guwahati with deflated tyres.

"There was no injury to anyone with the plane carrying two passengers and two pilots. Navin Jindal was in the aircraft," SC Sharma, executive director of the Airport Authority of India in Guwahati said.

The aircraft was flying from New Delhi to Guwahati. But the deflated tyre was caused by hydraulic brake failure.

It took three hours to clean the runway after the incident and three flights were diverted to different routes.

"A flight from Imphal to Delhi via Guwahati flew directly to Delhi, while another flight from Kolkata to Guwahati was sent back to Kolkata," said Sharma.
