A THY Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration TC-JVN performing flight
TK-2256 from Istanbul to Antakya (Turkey) with 104 passengers and 6 crew, landed on Antakya's runway 04 but burst all 4 main tyres on landing and came to a stop with overheating landing gear. The aircraft was evacuated, emergency services cooled the landing gear.
The airport reported upon landing on runway 04 the tyres exploded and caught fire, the aircraft stopped about 2000 meters/6560 feet down the runway, emergency services quickly responded and put the fire out.
The airline reported the tyres exploded on landing causing the landing gear to overheat. There were no injuries during the evacuation.
According to information The Aviation Herald received the aircraft had been dispatched with the Anti-Skid System inoperative.
In June 2024 Turkish UEIM (Accident Investigation) released their final report in Turkish only (Editorial note: to serve the purpose of global prevention of the repeat of causes leading to an occurrence an additional timely release of all occurrence reports in the only world spanning aviation language English would be necessary, a Turkish only release does not achieve this purpose as set by ICAO annex 13 and just forces many aviators to waste much more time and effort each in trying to understand the circumstances leading to the occurrence. Aviators operating internationally are required to read/speak English besides their local language, investigators need to be able to read/write/speak English to communicate with their counterparts all around the globe).
The report concludes the probable causes of the serious incident were:
The cockpit crew of the aircraft with the TC-JVN registration mark focused on manual braking due to the inoperability of the anti-skid system and this caused a loss of situational awareness on the crew,
- the pilot-in-command does not apply manual braking in accordance with the manual braking procedure specified in FTCM 6.40 and QRH 14.1
