The Transair flight carrying 78 passengers, reportedly experienced a hydraulic issue before the problematic landing at Blaise Diagne Airport.

The incident happened early this morning after the plane's left wing and engine reportedly caught fire after the plane took off from Bamako Airport.

All 73 passengers were evacuated with fifteen of them being left injured- four of them seriously.

Earlier today another Boeing jet suffered a technical issue, raising safety concerns and causing further headache for the aircraft giant.

Photos show the aircraft on the tarmac, with its front wheels crumbled underneath.

Flights were diverted to the main Antalya airport and other nearby airports, authorities said.

Corendon said in a statement the plane halted safely on the runway after the tyre burst.

It comes just a day after a Boeing cargo belonging to the US mail service FedEx plane crash-landed on its nose on Wednesday.

The 767 aircraft was travelling from Paris to Istanbul and sent sparks flying as it nosedived on the runway.

And earlier this month, a Boeing 747 was caught on camera bouncing along the runway.
