GIV Lands Safely after Main Gear Tires Burst on Takeoff
Flight bound for London held for nearly five hours to burn off fuel before landing at New York’s Stewart International Airport.

A chartered Gulfstream IV bound for London Luton Airport made an emergency landing yesterday at New York's Stewart International Airport (SWF), approximately five hours after its two left main gear tires burst on takeoff from Teterboro Airport (TEB). The 1993 GIV, registered as N101CV and carrying 16 passengers and crew, departed from Runway 19 at TEB at 10:50 a.m. EDT. The fully fueled Gulfstream initially circled over western New Jersey as news crews and emergency personnel gathered on the field in anticipation of the stricken jet's return.
