Vietnam Airlines flight returns to Munich after overshooting runway during take-off

A Vietnam Airlines flight bound for Hanoi was forced to return to Munich on Saturday after technical difficulties shortly after take-off, according to authorities. Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 suggested a Boeing 787 overran the runway during take-off, leading the aircraft to circle for more than two hours to burn fuel before landing. ABC News aired footage showing the jet departing with a large dust cloud trailing. Vietnam Airlines said the plane returned to the departure airport because of a “technical issue,” without further details. Munich airport reported the aircraft could not taxi off the north runway under its own power, so the north runway was closed and traffic was rerouted via the south runway.
