JAKARTA, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- A plane belonging to Garuda Indonesia, the biggest airline operator in the country, conducted an emergency landing on the way to Aceh province, the private radio station Elshinta reported here Friday.

    According to Eddy Suryadi, an official at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, one of the plane's wheels was detached and fell to the ground, forcing it to go back to the airport.

    "There is no casualty in the accident because the wheel fell on an open area," he told the radio, adding that it happened when the plane was 500 feet in air.

    The report said, quoting Eddy, that it was the inner left wheel so the plane could still land safely even though it was a little bit shaky.

    The accident was caused by loosened nuts on the wheel, the report said.

    According to Eddy, passengers were transferred to another plane so they could resume their journey.
