It took Air Force staff about an hour to repair the tyre and restore the aircraft. Till then the traffic of the passenger aircrafts was held up, the sources said. Director (Airport) G K Khare said two flights - one from Mumbai and another from Delhi - could not arrive on their scheduled time on account of this disruption.
