"Around 8:45 p.m. on Monday, British Airways Flight 274 lost a tire just as it was taking off from Harry Reid International Airport, FAA officials told SFGATE. The Airbus landed safely in London, and "the tire was retrieved from the LAS airfield," airport officials confirmed to SFGATE via email. "There were no reported injuries or damage to airport property." On Thursday, the same aircraft is slated to travel from London's Heathrow Airport to Sao Paulo, Brazil, Flight24 data shows."
"In March 2024, United Airlines Flight 35 lost a tire while taking off from San Francisco International Airport. At the time, SFO spokesperson Doug Yakel told SFGATE that the debris fell onto a staff parking lot and the runway, leading to its temporary closure. There were no injuries, and the flight was safely diverted to Los Angeles International Airport, where the plane was to be switched out before continuing its journey to Japan."
A tire detached from British Airways Flight 274 during takeoff from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas around 8:45 p.m. on Monday. The Airbus completed the flight and landed safely in London, and airport personnel retrieved the tire from the LAS airfield with no reported injuries or damage to airport property. The same aircraft is scheduled to operate from London's Heathrow to Sao Paulo on Thursday. Social media footage showing the falling tire generated discussion among aviation observers. A March 2024 incident involving United Airlines Flight 35 also saw a tire loss during takeoff from San Francisco. The FAA will investigate the Las Vegas incident.
