False Alarm at Mexico City Airport Prompted Protocols

A false alarm of low wheels on a KLM aircraft activated the protocols at Mexico City International Airport (AICM). Flight KLM 685 from Amsterdam landed at AICM without incident at 6:36 PM, according to the aviation authority.

The Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) reported that despite the indication of "low wheels" on the main landing gear, the aircraft did not declare an emergency. As a precaution, measures were taken. Once on the ground, the aircraft was checked at position 43, confirming that the tire pressure was normal.

Maintenance technician Arturo Sánchez was interviewed and confirmed that the indication of "low wheels" was a false alarm. AICM also confirmed that there was no emergency notification after landing.

Meanwhile, at Denver International Airport, United States, an American Airlines plane caught fire on March 13. The incident occurred while the aircraft was parked at gate C38, forcing the deployment of slides for the rapid evacuation of passengers.

Videos shared on social media show the moment the plane is engulfed in smoke as passengers prepare to evacuate.
