Jeju Airport runway closed due to airplane tire rupture

South Korea's Jeju International Airport said Friday it has temporarily closed its runway after a passenger jet's tire ruptured while it was landing.

A Korean Air B737-900 with 147 passengers onboard reported that one of its tires ruptured after landing.

The plane is currently on the runway with the airport authorities taking steps to move it. (Yonhap)
