on

Santa Cruz, Bolivia – December 5, 2024

A TAB Cargo flight operating as 2L755 encountered a landing incident at Santa Cruz-Viru Viru International Airport (VVI) early Thursday morning. The McDonnell Douglas MD-10-30F, registered as CP-2791, sustained minor damage after shredding multiple tires on its main landing gear while landing on Runway 34.

The aircraft, manufactured in 1988 and operating as a dedicated cargo flight, had departed earlier from La Paz-El Alto Airport (LPB). Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the crew, and there were no fatalities. Ground operations were temporarily affected, but airport authorities quickly managed the situation, ensuring the safety of personnel and maintaining minimal disruption to scheduled flights.

Emergency response teams were deployed to assess the aircraft and runway conditions. Preliminary reports indicate no significant structural damage to the MD-10-30F, although the exact cause of the tire failure remains under investigation. Officials from TAB Cargo have assured full cooperation with local aviation authorities as they work to determine the circumstances of the incident.

Santa Cruz-Viru Viru International Airport resumed normal operations shortly after the aircraft was towed from the runway. A comprehensive inspection of the affected runway segment was conducted to ensure continued operational safety.
