A Boeing 737 operated by Norwegian was forced to make an emergency landing at Stockholm's Arlanda airport on [date] after a tyre exploded during takeoff. The aircraft, carrying 181 passengers, was bound for Paris when the incident occurred.
According to a Norwegian press officer, the plane took off as planned but soon experienced a technical problem. Debris was found on the runway as the aircraft circled the airport before returning for an emergency landing. Police and paramedics were dispatched to the scene.
Passenger Maya Carenco, who lives in Paris, described the takeoff as unusually shaky. 'When [the plane] started, it shook a great deal. It shook and vibrated a lot,' she told Swedish outlet Expressen. Despite the scare, she praised the calm demeanor of the pilot and crew.
The press officer stated that the landing was executed without drama, though the pilot had prepared for a hard landing. 'I understand it can feel unnerving, but the landing went off without any drama,' he said. He noted that such incidents are very unusual but are taken seriously.
It remains unclear if any passengers were injured. The incident caused a queue of planes to build up at Arlanda, with flights diverted to another runway while an inspection of the debris was carried out.
