An Air Canada passenger flight with 128 passengers on board landed safely at Madrid’s Barajas airport after the aircraft suffered damage following takeoff.
The aircraft made its emergency landing “without incident” shortly after 7pm in Madrid and engineers are now checking it over, airport operator AENA said in a tweet.
“The flight experienced an engine issue shortly after takeoff,” Air Canada said in a statement prior to the landing. “A tire also reportedly ruptured on take-off, one of 10 on this model of aircraft.”
