Hainan Airlines plane catches fire shortly after takeoff from Rome
A Hainan Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner caught fire in one of its engines shortly after taking off from Rome's Fiumicino Airport. The aircraft was en route to Shenzhen, China, when the incident occurred over the Ostia neighborhood. Videos shared by Italian media show flames coming from the engine. The plane returned to Fiumicino after circling the coast multiple times. Reports suggest a possible "bird strike" may have caused the fire. The aircraft will undergo inspections to determine the cause and assess any damage. Hainan Airlines has been contacted for further information.
