On January 20, 2025, American Airlines Flight AA909, operating from Miami, United States to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, experienced a blown tyre on the left main landing gear upon landing at Argyle International Airport. Eyewitness James Bacchus reported hearing a loud bang as the aircraft passed the terminal building, followed by smoke emanating from the landing gear area.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft (registered N328TC) came to an abrupt stop on the runway. Firefighters promptly responded, facilitating the safe evacuation of all 91 passengers on board. No injuries were reported.
As a result of the incident, the airport temporarily suspended operations. Flights, including Virgin Atlantic’s inbound service from Barbados, were diverted. The airport announced a temporary closure until further notice, resuming operations later that evening.
