Moments of panic in the air/ A bird caused a fire in the engine, the plane lands at Rome airport

A Hainan Airlines flight bound for Shenzhen, China, was forced to return to Rome's Fiumicino airport shortly after takeoff on Sunday when a "bird strike" caused an engine fire, airport officials said.

According to foreign media, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which took off at 9:55 local time with 249 passengers and 16 crew members on board, encountered the incident minutes after takeoff, prompting a rapid response from the crew and airport authorities.

Just shortly after takeoff, the plane reportedly struck a bird, causing the right side engine to burst into flames.

Following standard safety protocols, the crew immediately declared an emergency.

Aircraft strikes by birds are common, but are a recognized hazard in aviation and can lead to significant safety risks.

After the plane landed, it was reported that no passengers or crew members were injured.
