Shortly after take-off  a plane with 130 passengers onboard made an emergency landing in Spain after parts of the landing gear reportedly fell into one of the engines.

 

 

When the incident took place Air Canada flight AC837 departed Madrid Barajas Adolfo Suarez airport to fly to Toronto when the incident took place.

 

 

According to Air Canada one of the jet’s tyres ruptured shortly after taking off.

 

 

To burn off enough fuel to be able to land Sepla added that Boeing 767 aircraft would need to fly for another three hours.

 

 

After a short take-off this is the standard procedure for all aircraft that need to land unexpectedly.

 

Flight Radar 24, flight data showed that the Madrid-bound jet currently flying a series of circles above the Spanish  capital prepares to land.

 

 

Enaire, Spain’s air navigation operator said that the plane was returning to the airport due to a technical issue.

 

 

It mentioned that the customers who were to fly out of Madrid should run a check on the status of their flight with the airline.

 

 

The emergency landing request was confirmed by the Air Canada spokesperson that the flight AC837 experienced an engine issue shortly after a take off.

 

 

On take-off a tyre reportedly ruptured one of the 10 on this model of aircraft. Further the aircraft will return to Madrid and is currently circling to use up fuel and lighten the aircraft for landing.

 

 

A Boeing 767-300 aircraft is designed to operate on one engine and the pilots are fully trained for this eventuality.

An emergency was declared in order to obtain the landing priority.
