Rome, Nov 10 (AFP) Nov 10, 2024
A Boeing aircraft operated by China's Hainan Airlines returned to Rome's Fiumicino Airport after takeoff Sunday due to an engine issue possibly caused by a bird strike, an airport spokesman said.

The Shenzhen-bound Dreamliner 787-9, which took off at 9:55 am local time, landed safely without incident.

A problem with the plane's right motor was under investigation, a spokesman for ADR, the operator of Rome's airports, told AFP.

In videos posted on local media, flames could be seen on the right side of the plane before it returned to the airport.
