Cathay said the injuries occurred during the evacuation, when passengers exited the plane using five emergency sliding doors.

“Nine of the eleven passengers treated in hospital have been discharged,” they said. “Our colleagues will continue to support the two hospitalised passengers and their families.”

Cathay said it sincerely apologised for the disruption to customers.

RTHK television quoted police as saying that one of the plane's tires overheated, causing it to burst.
