An Egypt Air Boeing 737-800, registration SU-GEF performing flight MS-757 from Cairo (Egypt) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) with 95 passengers, was accelerating for takeoff from Cairo's runway 05C when the right hand nose tyre blew. The aircraft climbed to FL240 and entered a hold, then the crew decided to return to Cairo. The aircraft entered another hold at 5000 feet to burn off fuel. The aircraft landed safely on runway 05R about 70 minutes after departure.

The Aviation Herald received information that the first officer of the flight had discovered a cut in the right hand nose tyre during the walk around, maintenance determined the cut was within acceptable limits and released the aircraft to flight. During departure the tyre blew causing damage to the nose gear doors and nose wheel well. During landing the right nose wheel was worn down to the rim.
