American Airlines Flight Blows Two Tires Upon Landing at Chicago O'Hare
An American Airlines flight experienced a tire issue upon landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Monday, August 17, 2026, blowing two tires. The flight, American Airlines flight 386, had departed from LaGuardia Airport and landed around 2 p.m. local time. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and American Airlines, there were no injuries reported among passengers or crew. Passengers deplaned via stairs on the taxiway and were subsequently bused to the terminal. The Boeing 737-800 aircraft has been taken out of service for inspections. The FAA has announced that it will investigate the incident. This event occurred on the same day that a United Airlines flight also landed with blown tires at O'Hare, and days after another United Airlines flight aborted takeoff at the same airport due to blown tires.
