A LGW Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter de Havilland Dash 8-400 on behalf of Air Berlin, registration D-ABQK performing flight AB-8883 from Florence (Italy) to Dusseldorf (Germany), was enroute when the crew was informed that tyre debris had been found on the departure runway in Florence, that had been attributed to the Dash 8. The crew decided to continue to Dusseldorf, performed a low approach to Dusseldorf to have the tyres inspected from the ground. Still not being able to rule out the nose wheels could be affected, the crew entered a hold to prepare for an emergency landing. The aircraft landed safely about 30 minutes after the low approach. Emergency services found both nose tyres okay, however the right inboard main tyre was found deflated.
