Dozens of airport staff pushed a plane that skidded off a runway due to a burst tyre.

The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX aircraft veered off the tarmac after landing at Mulia Airport in Puncak Jaya, Indonesia, this morning.

Local media reported that the plane was turning toward the apron for parking when its right wheel exploded, causing it to uncontrollably stray from the landing area and onto the grassy verge.

Footage captured by ground crew member Nebir W shows men hauling the 2.15-tonne air vehicle off the runway strip.

After a painstaking effort, the group managed to move the aeroplane operated by Alda Air to safety.

The single-engine turboprop, piloted by Captain Indra Haris Pratama, had taken off from Wamena Airport in Jayawijaya Regency at 9:21 a.m. local time and arrived about 30 minutes later at Mulia Airport.

Police Chief Achmad Fauzan said: 'There were no fatalities or injuries in the incident, but the aircraft's right tyre was damaged due to the blowout.

'My team received the initial report from Kopasgat, the Special Forces Command of the Indonesian Air Force stationed in Mulia, who informed us about the tyre burst on the Alda Air aircraft. Security measures were then implemented at the airport.'

A crime scene investigation was reportedly conducted in the middle of Mulia Airport's runway to examine the incident and the tyre damage sustained by the aircraft.
