Video footage shared on social media show an Azman Air Airbus A340-642 on the apron with a fire around what appears to be the left-hand main gear or center body gear while passengers are deplaning via airstairs.
The airline's sole A340 arrived at Jeddah as flight ZQ2350 on April 14, 2022 around 00:30 local time, which would be the likely time of the occurrence.
Conflicting reports on social media, however, suggest the occurrence took place at Kano Airport before departure.
