LATAM Flight Suffers Tire Failures After Atlanta Landing, Prompting Runway Evacuation

The FAA has opened an investigation into the landing-gear tire failures.

Overview

  • The widebody arrived from Lima when several tires failed after touchdown, yet the aircraft came to a controlled stop.
  • Atlanta Fire Rescue responded on the runway to reports of flat tires as ground crews worked to stabilize the landing gear.
  • Passengers exited directly onto the tarmac during the response, according to on-scene footage.
  • No injuries were reported, and airport operations continued with only brief, localized adjustments.
  • LATAM partners with Delta through a codeshare, though any Delta-affiliated passengers or crew on this flight remain unconfirmed.
