Aero Flight (accra - Lagos) Has Flat Tyre by SirKay3(m): 11:57am On Jun 18, 2012
Aero Contractor flight AJ2002 which is supposed to take passengers from Accra to Lagos by 8.55am Naija time this morning was discovered to have flat tyre, by one of the passengers who alerted the cabin crew. We were all asked to disembark and go back to the boarding gate to wait for spare tyre to be brought in from Lagos to Ghana.

My take on this. If it were to be BA, Virgin Atlantic or other foreign airlines, would we be waiting for spare tyre to brought in from their home country before leaving? High time government acts before things gets out of hand.

Aircraft tires are designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short durations. The number of tires required for aircraft increases with the weight of the plane (because the weight of the airplane has to be distributed better). Aircraft tire tread patterns are designed to facilitate stability in high crosswind conditions, to channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, and for braking effect. Aircraft tires are usually inflated with nitrogen or helium to minimize expansion and contraction from extreme changes in ambient temperature and pressure experienced during flight

So they could fill it up with nitrogen or helium
