This aircraft blew a tyre while landing as flight D7236 from Kuala Lumpur at 5:48am today. This also caused a hydraulic leak and the aircraft taxied off the runway at taxiway L2 and parked on the taxiway. Passengers had to wait aboard, until buses could take them to the terminal. The aircraft was then towed to Bay 60 and the blown tyre was removed, as seen here. Spare parts were flown in aboard the afternoon D7232 flight, and 9M-XXD finally departed as flight D7237D at 10.14pm the next day (29 December).

** First visit to Perth ** Landing runway 24 at 3:29pm. This rare visitor flew from Subang (Malaysia) to Melbourne on 26 December, then to Perth today, and departed to Male (Maldives) the following day (29 Dec). It was built in 1987 and has always been configured as a VIP jet, being first delivered to the Brunei Government (Sultan of Brunei) as V8-HM1, later reregistered V8-DPD, P4-DPD, and P4-ABU (later leased to the Saudi Arabian Government), before becoming HZ-NSA with Arabasco in 2004. It is now owned by Al-Atheer Aviation. About 100 A310s are still flying, out of 255 built.
